[N]
Oh, sister, don't be afraid of me, I won't be nailing you down in the nursery
[C] Just like the rest of them did with the watery, wandering fingers of spit
That were supposed to [G] be glorious and fine
Oh, sister, won't you believe in me?
I only wanted to be hard on the [C] family
Here with you now in this silly infirmary
Your mother makes frantic and drunk calls, spend your money [G]
all of the time
Oh, sister, sweet brown embulary, milk from your blisters on your grandmother's jewelry
[C] There in the parlor, all naked and flauntable, watching the lights from the cracks
Making [G] archery animal designs
[Em] Rose-walled, scalded lingers, [C] moves her mouth over [G] anything
That's fleshy, free, and flowering [D] like oranges out in the open
[Em] But don't you waste your sins again, [C] you don't need you or won't fuck your [G] friends
You or your America, [D] self-important, boiling over
[Em] To prove that she must still exist, she moves herself [C] about her fist
[G] And will never, never give a shit [D] about all those words you're wasting
[Em]
To gain some pretty,
[C] bright, and bubbly,
[G] wondrous dream
You'd like to kill [D] and cling and claim her [Em] as your own
But don't you [C]
worry, all the dainty [G] and dirty emotions [D] just go away
And [G] fade out on their own, sister
Now that you're leaving, our fingers will fall so our lungs will be leaking
All [C] over each other and without even speaking
We'll know that it's over and smile and go greeting [G]
whatever comes next
Oh, sister, you're getting married to some angry twister
That you'll have to carry [C] on drunk every evening from the cemetery
If he makes it back half-alive, you can bet [Em] Rehman [G] and I are sheep
[Em]
[G] Oh, sister, now that you're grieving, I cannot imagine there is any meaning
[C] Forgetting you ever could
Once have the feeling that made you keep on
And continue to breathing [G]
of all of this
[C] Whoa-oh [G]-oh-oh-oh
And in an age of empty [D] rings
I don't wanna [C] feel a thing
I don't even want [G] to know
[Em] [G]
Rose of Wallace, [D]
Goldilean
Don't you ever die [C] on me
Don't you learn [Em] the way you go
Oh, sister, don't be afraid of me, I won't be nailing you down in the nursery
[C] Just like the rest of them did with the watery, wandering fingers of spit
That were supposed to [G] be glorious and fine
