In the last lines, I felt he was saying that there are times we have all done something that someone else would feel bad about or not understand if they found out about it.

This is such a stunning song- I was shocked, almost repulsed when I bothered to listen to the lyrics of this song- Sufjan makes a sick story so real and, yes, beautiful. No one else could produce a song that provokes you to empathise with a killer like this. In the end, its the confronting truth that we are all human beings with faults and past mistakes that really gets to me. I would reccomend it for so many reasons.

I do believe that Sufan's vocals on John Wayne Gacy are the deepest expression of grief that I have ever heard coming from a human being. What grabbed me about this song is the singing.

Also the last verse is a perfect finish to the song. It means that we all have secrets. Like this muderer did but of course not as bad. I really do reccomend you getting a hold of this song. a beautiful song. makes you think inside the mind of a serial killer- John Wayne Gacy. Also the last verse is a perfect finish to the song.

It amazing how close the original story. down to the swingset, neighbours and the boys with their cars The song is definitely a beautiful peice of music and that almost serves only to heighten the tragedy of the lyrics! the story of John Wayne Gacy is appauling and sick and Sufjan Stevens does have that beautiful voice and the ability to write lyrics that makes the song still beautiful!

The last verse...woof. x J I don’t have anything insightful to add, other than the song is probably one of his best songs from any of the albums. The last verse…woof.
