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 quiverI'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 breakersI'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 oneI'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 herI'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 oneI'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 sisterAnd you can read, sister Carrie, read
