The Posies Follow

I'll call you Sister Carrie
But I'll never say it

Mute it to a whisper
And spin your solar sister
And magnet will deliver
An arrow from her quiver

I'll call you Sister Carrie
But you'll never hear it

Fifty minutes later
As time pulls down her fader
And nibbles off the fakers
Who roll under the breakers

I'll close my eyes and listen to you read the story
Knowing I'll soon be left behind
So won't you read Sister Carrie Jean, Sister Carrie
Always the patient one

And I'll call you Sister Carrie
I won't breathe a word

Frosting on the beater
The flag trips down the meter
You thought you could defeat her
You're lucky you could meet her

I'll close my eyes and listen to you read the story
But I'm already far behind
So won't you read Sister Carrie Jean, Sister Carrie
Always the patient one

I'll close my life and let you teach me a new story
Out of the pages of your mind
And magnet will deliver so spin my solar sister
And you can read, Sister Carrie, read
Sister Carrie, read, Sister Carrie, read, read, read

I'll call you Sister Carrie
But I'll never say it
