Lyrics
Sister Madly
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Now you're heading down to get someone
Should've done what he had to do years ago
The position is coming through
All the people that you're standing on
All the people that you're standing on
Now you're heading down to be someone
Someone that you've seen in a magazine
Your premonition is coming true
Oh baby you're not so green
No baby you're not so green
No baby you're nutso
Sister madly waking up the dead
You're systematically stepping on my head
Now you're heading down to find something
Something that you buried in your backyard
The position is coming through
From all the dirt that you're digging up
From all the dirt that you're digging up
Now you're heading down to be somewhere
Somewhere you imagined in your wildest dream
The opposition is coming through
From all the people that you're standing on
From all the people that you're standing on
Now you'd better take a firm hand
Sister madly waking up the dead
You're systematically stepping on my head
Now you're heading down to get someone
Someone that you should've had years ago
The position is coming through
All the people that you're standing on
All the people that you're standing on
You're hard to get a hand on
Sister madly waking up the dead
Systematically stepping on my head
