Cover art for Casimir Pulaski Day (Original Demo Version) lyrics by Sufjan Stevens

In the morning at the top of the stairs When your father found out what we did that night And you told me you were scared All the glory at the top of the stairs If he raised his hand, I could pull his hair And kick him in the face

I feel like the father at the top of the stairs is God. Like, 'man upstairs'? It is evident towards the end that he is moreso angry with Him, and not the girl's biological father.
