Jim Carroll Band Three Sisters Lyrics

Three Sisters Lyrics

Though I don't really understand her

I love my sister, her name's Miranda

The boys from uptown they can't stand her

The more she denies them the more they demand her

But she just wants to lay in bed all night

Reading Raymond Chandler

She got high heel shoes

She sings the blues

She says abracadabra when she goes down on you



She got a sister and her name is Anita

Anita got one peculiar feature

Every time that they come to meet her

She turns out like a jungle cheetah

She got spiked shoes

She hums the blues

She says razor when she goes down on you



There's another one that makes a trio

Her name is Sally but they call her Cleo

She's a Leo

She got a flat in Soho

She breaks the ceiling

Every time she twirls her mojo

She ain't got no shoes

Never had the blues

She ain't never gonna go down on you



I wish that all the girls were my sister

Then all their dates would call me Mister

You know, sisters are the only ones that talk to me true

Hey, you could be my sister too
