Oh sister, dont be afraid of me
I wont be nailing you down in the nursery
Just like the rest of them did
With those watery, wandering fingers that slipped
That were supposed to be glorious and fine
Oh sister, wont you believe in me
I only wanted to be hard on your family
Here with you now in the zillionth infirmary
A mother makes frantic and drunk calls from Germany
All of the time
And oh sister
Sweet brown and comely
I will be be milking with you making fun of me
Now that my moods are not what the used to be
there is but no one alive laying next to me
for such a long time
Oh sister, sweet brown and beulahry
milk from your blisters on your grandmothers jewelry
there in the parlor all naked in front of me
Watching the lights from the cracks making archery animal designs
Rose Wallace Goldeline just moves her mouth over anything
Fleshy free and flowering with oranges out in the open
But dont you waste your sins again
She dont need you
or wont fck your friends
And you, youre American, so important boiling over
To prove that she must still exist
she moves herself about her fist
and never ever ever give a shit
about all those words youre wasting again
Some pretty bright and bubbly wondrous dream
Youd like to kill and claim
And claim her as your own
But dont you worry
All those dainty and dirty emotions just go away and fade out on their own
Sister, now that were grieving
Our fingers will falter
Our lungs will be leaking
All over each other and without even speaking
Well know that its over and smiling or greeting
Whatever comes next
And oh sister
Youre getting married with some angry twister
That youll have to carry home drunk every evening from the cemetery
And if he makes it back half alive you can bury him
Under your sheets
And oh sister
now that were leaving
I can not imagine there is any meaning
forgetting you ever could once had the feeling that made you keep on
And pretend you were breathing of all of this world
In an age of empty rings
I dont want to feel the thing
I dont even want to know
and Rose Wallace Goldeline
dont you ever die on me
all the way it goes and flows
