Romulus Lyrics - Greetings From Michigan: The Great Lake State - Sufjan Stevens

Once when our mother called 

She had a voice of last year's cough 

We passed around the phone 

Sharing a word about Oregon 

When my turn came 

I was ashamed 

When my turn came 

I was ashamed 

Once when we moved away 

She came to Romulus for a day 

Her Chevrolet broke down 

We prayed it never be fixed or be found

We touched her hair 

We touched her hair 

We touched her hair 

We touched her hair 

When she had her last child 

Once when she had some boyfriend somewhile 

She moved away quite far 

Our Grampa bought us a new VCR 

We watched it all night 

We grew up in spite of it 

We watched it all night 

We grew up in spite of it 

We saw her once last fall 

Our Grampa died in a hospital gown 

She didn't seem to care 

She smoked in her room and coloured her hair

I was ashamed 

I was ashamed of her 

I was ashamed 

I was ashamed of her 

I was ashamed 

I was ashamed of her 

I was ashamed 

I was ashamed 

Of her
