Solar Sister

Bad Astronaut

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 
Knowing 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
