Badless The Sister Shirley Lyrics

Sister Shirley Lyrics

(alexander/naydock)

 

 Everyone that should has got their dark glasses on

 But it's not as warm as i expected

 I've paraded your photo through san mateo

 Dreamin' '86 was resurrected

 

 Chorus

 

 And some thought they'd seen you, sister shirley

 I swear i saw you meeting them

 With better clothes and a different smile

 Where on earth should i begin

 

 Northern california's got that brochure appeal

 But where's the wine that you poeticized

 Nineteen and pregnant and hatin' the means

 You responded to your thought dream cries

 

 Chorus

 

 Sun affirms the bayshore freeway, the moon burns bright in burlingame

 Two weeks straight our daily bread's conclusions turn the same

 Face me if and when i face you, black and white, how we embrace you

 

 We love you and we hate you

 

 Chorus

 

 What's your name now, sister shirley

 Did you run to better ground
