Up Sister

I've been sold down the river
 And I've been told that Jesus delivers
 But don't believe everything that you bleed
 It may be nothing to you but it is something to me
 I got sidetracked and rearranged
 But like a leper, I've been estranged
 Drawn to fame like a moth to a flame
 I'm living hand to mouth, but I'm hoping for change
 I been drowning in the Queen's tears
 I been staring at a square face in the mirror for years
 She feels like water and she tastes like wind
 And her fire burns hotter when the night rolls in
 You been a saint
 I've been a sinner
 You're a fat cat
 I'm getting thinner
 I'm having trouble telling wrong from right
 These slippery handshakes - they keep me awake at night
 Oh - I think you've seen me before
 You had your eyes on mine because your grass don't grow
 This ain't a song, it's a call to arms
 There's a gathering storm
 Better sound the alarm
 I been drowning in the Queen's tears
 I been staring at a square face in the mirror for years
 She feels like water and she tastes like wind
 And her fire burns hotter when the night rolls in
 None of your friends ever know what to say
 'Cause what you wish for tomorrow
 You could have today
 None of your friends ever know what to say
 'Cause what you wish for tomorrow
 You could have today
 Up sister
 Keep your head on
 Living in the past but the past is gone
 Up sister
 Can you hear?
 That the future is here, the future is here now
 Up sister
 Keep your head on
 Living in the past but the past is gone
 Up sister
 Come clean
 It's a slippery slope and you're the avalanche queen
 None of your friends ever know what to say
 'Cause what you wish for tomorrow
 You could have today
 None of your friends ever know what to say
 'Cause what you wish for tomorrow
 You could have today
