I抣l call you sister carrie but I抣l never say it
Mute it to a whisper
And spin your solar sister
And magnet will deliver
An arrow from her quiver
I抣l call you sister carrie but you抣l never hear it
Fifty minutes later
As time pulls down her fader
And nibbles off the fakers
Who roll under the breakers
I抣l close my eyes and listen to you read the story
Knowning I抣l soon be left behind
So won抰 you read sister carrie jean, sister carrie
Always the patient one
I抣l call you sister carrie I won抰 breathe a word
Frosting on the beater
The flag trips down the meter
You thought you could defeat her
You抮e lucky you could meet her
I抣l close my eyes and listen to you read the story
But I抦 already far behind
So won抰 you read sister carrie jean, sister carrie
Always the patient one
I抣l 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...
