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

Knowning I'll soon be left behind

So won't you read sister Carrie Jean, sister Carrie

Always the patient one



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...
