Oh My Sister Lyrics

Oh My Sister

oh my sister 
what did you say to them 
you`ve got to use a little tact 
leave out words like "bombs" , "gurus", or "India" 
you won`t set the world on fire 
if you separate yourself from them like that  
 
oh my sister 
you are so critical 
how did you ever get this hard 
he only wanted to kiss you 
and when he couldn`t "score" 
he told his friends 
and now all the boys are afraid of you  
 
of us all you were most modest 
even though you were last to lower your hem 
throw your jeans out the window 
put them on behind the fence 
oh I laugh - you put such feeling 
into your indifference  
 
oh my sister 
you don`t know why I love you it could be 
the untouchable innocence 
that I see in you sometimes 
or the loss that I feel 
when you pass through my mind 
or maybe because I`m supposed to  
 
oh my sister 
where are you living now 
you left "nirvana" as your forwarding address 
well - that`s very funny from a mile and a half 
but up close at home it`s not like that 
why don`t you send us a letter  
 
oh my sister...
