Here are the exact lyrics for this song, transcribed from Sufjan's handwriting in the first pressing of the album. The lyrics are originally written without line breaks.
A loverless bed (without remission): such a shame that I can't get over this; put the axle on and roll again. Such a Saturn eye will close again, watching every ring turning again. And I close my eyes to everything you've rearranged, and I close my mind to everything you've kept the same. Put the axle on and roll again. Cannot keep you in my bed again; wake up every time and leave your space again. When the hairline breaks and lends you into the woman you've turned red again.
