SUFJAN STEVENS
"Angels We Have Heard On High (2010)"

Angels we have heard on high
Singing for the Earth's attention
Ho, ho, ho, ho, ho
And the mountains in reply
So much noise for my affection
Ho, ho, ho, ho, ho
Shepherd's widened jubilee
Have you seen a flying saucer
Ho, ho, ho, ho, ho
And what the gladsome tidings be
Is it power and wealth you're after
Ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, oh, oh, oh

[Chorus:]
Gloria
It's speaks of pure devotion
Gloria
The counting and commotion
Gloria
I cannot stand to listen
Gloria
It takes from my ambition
Gloria

Come to Bethelem and see
Son of God inside the manger
Ho, ho, ho, ho, ho
Come adore on bended knee
Where dreams become your greatest danger
Ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, oh, oh, oh

[Chorus:]
Gloria
It puts your heart in motion
Gloria
Like some romantic potion
Gloria
It gives the Great Petition
Gloria
And takes from my ambition
Gloria

[Outro:]
Gloria, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Gloria, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Gloria, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Gloria, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Gloria, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Gloria, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh
