Oh Sister

Oh sister, don't be afraid of me

I won't be nailing you down in the nursery

Just like the rest of them did

With those watery, wandering fingers that slipped

That were supposed to be glorious and fine.

Oh sister won't you believe in me

I only wanted to be hard on the family

Here with you now in this silly infirmary

Your mother makes frantic and drunk calls

From germany all of the time.

Oh sister, sweet brown and beulahery

And milk from your blisters on your grandmother's jewelry

There in the parlor all naked in front of me

Watching the lights from the cracks

Making archery animal designs.

Rose wallace goldeline just moves her mouth over anything

Fleshy free and flowering with oranges out in the open

But don't you waste your sins again

She don't need you or won't fuck your friends

And you, you're american, so important boiling over

To prove that she must still exist

She moves herself about her fist

And never ever gave a shit

About all those words you're wasting again

Some pretty bright and bubbly wondrous dream

You'd like to kill and claim

And claim her as your own

But don't you worry

All those dainty and dirty emotions

Just go away and fade out on their own

Sister, now that we're grieving

Our fingers will falter

Our lungs will be leaking

All over each other and without even speaking

We'll know that it's over and smile and go greeting

Whatever comes next

And oh sister

You're getting married with some angry twister

That you'll have to carry home

Drunk every evening from the cemetery

And if he makes it back half alive you can

Bury him under your sheets

And oh sister

Now that you're leaving

I can not imagine there is any meaning

Forgetting you ever could once had the feeling that made you keep on

And pretend you were breathing of all of this world

In an age of empty rings

I don't want to feel the thing

I don't even want to know

And rose wallace goldeline

Don't you ever die on me

All the way it goes.
