Sister Songtext

von John ME

Sister
I was chasing you down the street
May or June '84
I pushed you
My confidence grew
But the queen on the red horse, she suddenly screams
And still in my dreams
You fly through the air
With your curly blonde hair
Waving like a flag from your back
Someone's surrendering

Concrete and rust
You knocked all those baby-whites out
Head full of noise, hands full of dust
The blood and the echo of the shouts
I couldn't take the blame
Now I can't stand the shame

Sister
Can't let it go
And I told you
How it spread from the heart and through the veins
And it grows
Open your eyes and tell me what do you see
And who is the loneliest at the end of the day
How small things shape your life

Concrete and rust
You knocked all those baby-whites out
Head full of noise, hands full of dust
The blood and the echo of the shouts
I couldn't take the blame
Now I can't stand the shame

And you're out of reach
Someone told me all is gone
(But nothing's gone)
But we go on
