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 those watery wandering fingers of Smith
That were supposed [G] to 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 from [G] Germany all of the [C] [G] time
And oh sister, sweet brown embulary Milk from your blisters on your grandmother's
jewelry [C] There in the parlor all naked and flawed
over Watching the lights and the cracks making
[G] archery animal designs
[Em] Rose wall is gold-linged, [C] just moves her
mouth over [G] anything That's slushy free and flowering [E] 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 were your America, [D] self-important
and boiling [E] over [Em] To prove that she must still exist
[C] She moves herself about a [G] fist and won't ever never give a shit
[D] About all those words you're [E] wasting [Em] to gain some pretty, [C] bright and [G] bubbly
wondrous dream You'd like [D] to kill and cling and [E] claim her
as [Em] your own But don't you [C] worry, all those dainty [G] and
dirty emotions [D] just go away and fade out on [G] their own
Sister, now that you're leaving our fingers will fall so our lungs will be leaking [C] all
over each other And without even speaking we'll know that
it's over And smile and go [G] breeding whatever comes [C] [G]
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
[G] Re-em under your [C] sheets
[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 [G] breathing of all
of this [C] wealth [G] And in an age of [D] empty rings I don't want
to feel [C] a thing I don't even [G] want to know
[C] [G] Rosa Wallace, [D] Goldilocks, don't you ever die [C] on me
Don't you learn [E] the way [G] you go
[C] Just like the rest of them did with those watery wandering fingers of Smith
That were supposed [G] to 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
