|
I'll call you Sister Carrie |
|
But I'll never say it |
|
Mute it to a whisper |
|
And spin your solar sister |
|
And magnet will deliver |
|
An arrow from her quiver |
|
I'll call you Sister Carrie |
|
But you'll never hear it |
|
Fifty minutes later |
|
As time pulls down her fader |
|
And nibbles off the fakers |
|
Who roll under the breakers |
|
I'll close my eyes and listen to you read the story |
|
Knowing I'll soon be left behind |
|
So won't you read Sister Carrie Jean, Sister Carrie |
|
Always the patient one |
|
And I'll call you Sister Carrie |
|
I won't breathe a word |
|
Frosting on the beater |
|
The flag trips down the meter |
|
You thought you could defeat her |
|
You're lucky you could meet her |
|
I'll close my eyes and listen to you read the story |
|
But I'm already far behind |
|
So won't you read Sister Carrie Jean, Sister Carrie |
|
Always the patient one |
|
I'll close my life and let you teach me a new story |
|
Out of the pages of your mind |
|
And magnet will deliver so spin my solar sister |
|
And you can read, Sister Carrie, read |
|
Sister Carrie, read, Sister Carrie, read, read, read |
