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.
Kill: he took the stable, bred me to be a mare. Made the brethren able, gave me a room. I never asked him. I never meant to stay. He dressed the table, wore a dress to be my mare. There's no permanence when you never leave the stall. He ran to other wars, won't write me at all. I want to kill him, I want to cut his brain, and when it's over, I know I'll feel okay. He was a champion; we were running side by side into the frontier. He left me without a ride. Where did the hour go when the champions intercede? He stole the cargo, took every chance to leave (chorus). I want to kill him, I want to cut his face, and when it's over, I know I'll feel okay. I want I want I want I want.
