"Sister Named Desire" lyrics

"Sister Named Desire"

Got a sister named Desire
They don't let you light those little boys
By their house on the backhand swing
I know a vicar who coughs a lot
I thought we told some little, sweet stories
In the parking lot

They say the girl lost her sway
They say the girl lost her sway that day

God, I'd like to drag him for a long way
'Cause maybe I
Then I'd just cry a little tear near
To that sleepy, safe place
And I'm gonna take it by myself if I've got to go
Don't let you, let you know where she goes to
With those, me, as I interfere

The girl lost her sway
They say the girl lost her sway that day

Teach me about them old, old worlds, big brother man
In an elevator
Where somebody can get out
Without a sound

They say that girl lost her sway
Just watch it, just watch it slip through my hands, boy
Watch it go
What you know

Hey, yes
See, just see
'Cause she still can sway
