Illinoise - Three Stars Lyrics

2024 Broadway
Illinoise the Musical - Three Stars (or, Concerning the UFO Sighting near Highland, Illinois) Lyrics

The song is written by Sufjan Stevens.

When the revenant came down
We couldn't imagine what it was
In the spirit of three stars
The alien thing that took its form

Then to Lebanon, oh, God!
The flashing at night,
The sirens grow and grow
(Oh history involved itself)
Mysterious shade that took its form
(Or what it was!)
Incarnation, three stars
Delivering signs
And dusting from their eyes

Illinoise the Musical Lyrics

Three Stars
The Long Hike
Come On! Feel the Illinoise!
