GOh sister, don't be afraid of me
I won't be nailing you down in the nursery
CJust like the rest of them did
With those watery, wandering fingers that slipped
That were supposed to be Gglorious and fiCneG
GOh sister, won't you believe in me
I only wanted to be hard on your family
CHere with you now in the zillionth infirmary
A mother makes frantic and drunk calls from Germany
GAll of the tCimGe
GAnd oh sister
Sweet brown and comely
I will be be milking with you making fun of me
CNow that my moods are not what the used to be
there is but no one alive laying next to me
Gfor such a long tCimGe
GOh sister, sweet brown and beulahry
milk from your blisters on your grandmother's jewelry
Cthere in the parlor all naked in front of me
Watching the lights from the cracks making archery Ganimal desCignGs
EmRose Wallace Goldeline just moCves her mouth over anything
GFleshy free and flowering with oraDnges out in the open
EmBut don't you waste your sins again
CShe don't need you
or won't fuck your friends
GAnd you, you're American, so impDortant boiling over
EmTo prove that she must still exist
Cshe moves herself about her fist
Gand never ever ever give a shit
Dabout all those words you're wasting again
EmSome pretCty bright and bubbly Gwondrous dream
You'd like to Dkill and claim
And claim her as your own
EmBut don't you worry
CAll those dainty and dirGty emotions just gDo away and fade out on their own
GSister, now that we're grieving
Our fingers will falter
Our lungs will be leaking
CAll over each other and without even speaking
We'll know that it's over and smiling or greeting
GWhatever comes neCxtG
GAnd oh sister
You're getting married with some angry twister
That you'll have to carry home drCunk every evening from the cemetery
And if he makes it back half alive you can bury him
GUnder your sheCetsG
GAnd oh sister
now that we're leaving
I can not imagine there is any meaning
Cforgetting you ever could once had the feeling that made you keep on
and pretend you were breathing of Gall of this wCorlGd
In an age of empty rings
DI don't want to feel the thCing
I don't even want to kGnow C G
and Rose Wallace GoldelDine
don't you ever die on Cme
all the way it goes and flGows
