Okay, [B] this is a song that didn't make the last record, and I don't know if you heard it again, but it's called
I don't know the song.
Sorry, I [G] don't
I think you'll probably
Oh, sister, don't be afraid of me
I won't be naming you down in the nursery
[C] Just like the rest of the devil's quarterly
Wondering if it's the [G] spit that was supposed to be glorious and posh
Oh, sister, won't you believe in me?
I only wanted to be hard on the [C] family
Here with you now in the silly [Em] infirmary
Your mother makes frantic and drunk [G] calls from Germany all of the time
Oh, sister, sleep round in eulogy
Milk from your blisters on your grandmother's tulip
Me [C] and your father all playing economy
Watching the lights from the cracks making [G] our journey end
And all this time
[Bm]
Rosewater is cold, we could lose our mouth over anything
[G] Let's be free and flowering with [D] our desires
The old man, don't you waste your sins again
I don't need you, I [G] won't rob your friend
You're American, so [D] important, boy, we know
[Bm] But through the steamer still exists
Use the smell [G] of valor, never, never mean it
[D] If all those words you're [E] wasting
[Em] Are dead, so pray, [C] pray and believe
Wondrous dream you'd like to [D] kill to claim
Claim her [Em] as your own, don't you worry
You're all up and dainty [G] and dirty
Emotions [D] just blow away and fade out on [G] their own, sister
Now that we're dreaming, our fingers will fall through
Our lungs will be leaking [C] all over each other
And without even speaking, we'll know that it's over
Smiling [G] or bleeding, whatever comes next
And oh, sister, you're getting married
The sun may be twisted and she'll have to carry
Home [C] drunk every evening, a police cemetery
If he makes it back half alive, you [G] will marry him
Under your cheeks
And oh, sister, now that you're leaving
I cannot imagine there is any meaning
[C] To anything that I've ever once had a feeling
And they didn't give on, I'm not saying [G] anything
I've all of this, oh
Now that age of [D] mercy
I want to feel [C] the thing I don't even [G] want to know
Oh, the [D] meaning of your hand [Bm] and mine
And I'll feel the way [G] that I need to know
I don't know the song.
Sorry, I [G] don't
I think you'll probably
Oh, sister, don't be afraid of me
I won't be naming you down in the nursery
[C] Just like the rest of the devil's quarterly
