Brown paper bag, don't stop me now, I'm on a roll
Plain brown wrapper in your pocket
Is it still the invisible man
You're consorting with, woman?Now that you got it all wrong
You got it all backwards, girl
Enter through the exit and exit through the entrance
When you can, seen you consorting with your invisible manholeFool child, you're never gonna make it
New York City just wants to see you naked and they will
Though they'd never say so
Wise, old, black and dead in the snow, my southern sisterSister Sister was the name of the band
Flesh and blood, my death close at hand
Sister, this is not about me and it's not about you, I swear
No hard feelings, nothing personal, so sculpture rides the airFor free words, words, words
Longings, longings, longings, all in vain
Just ask vanity, abandoned out in the rain by the world
Another proud AmericanAnd as proud Americans, we let it slide away
Harmless little negress
You've got to say yes to another excess
Let's go for a ride todayIn possession of eyes that say
In possession of eyes that sayA southern bunkhouse, blue skies up above
A kind of figure of feminine grace
And wit passes for love these daysAll that slender-wristed, white translucent business
Passes for love these days
Passion, genius passes for love these daysFour more years, four more years
Four hundred more years of this shit, fuck it
I look up, I see the North Star, I look up, I see the North Star
When I look up at the bar through these tearsFour white pillars, Yankee style
All of America loves to lights his pipes
All of America live to light his pipe at night
To which Dixie responds, "Free me"And then lashes his sashes again"Maybe or maybe not fast forward", she said
"Maybe once the seed is sown fast forward", she said
"This bird has flown south", she said
"Don't talk about the South", she saidIt's not you, it's nothing personal, no hard feelings, nothing's there
Soft sculpture rides hard on the airNow that you got it all wrong
You got it all backwards, girl
Enter through the exit and exit through the entrance
When you can
