Sam Roberts - Up Sister lyrics

rate me

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 mean nothing to you but it means something to me

I got sidetracked and rearranged

And like a leper, I've been estranged

And drawn to fame like a moth to a flame

Living hand to mouth, but I'm hoping for change

I've been drowning in the Queen's tears

I've been staring at a squareface 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've 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 that keep me awake at night

Oh x2013 I think you've seen me before

You had your eyes on mine 'cause 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've been drowning in the Queen's tears

I've been staring at a squareface 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<br />
