Sister I'm a Poet

All over this town
Yes a low wind may blow
And I can see through everybodys clothes
With no reason
To hide these words I feel
And no reason to talk about
The books I read but still I do
That's cause I'm a
Sister I'm a
All over this town
Along this way
Outside the prison gates
I love the romance of crime
And I wonder Does anybody feel
The same way I do?
And is evil just something you are?
Or something you do?
Sister I'm a
Sister I'm a
All over this town
All over this town they pull over
In their Citroen vans
Not to shake your hands
With Meths on their breaths
And you with youth on your side
Oh no, no, no-no,
Waiting at the lights
(But not this time)
Sister I'm a
Sister I'm a
All over this town
All over this town
All over this town
