Nels Cline - Seven Sisters lyrics

On Seven Sisters lay down your innocence Cash in your ignorance, learn about the truth And it's no playground, it's one big letdown It looks like a backstreet bargain baby But you just got screwed And on that high road you live in shadows And the one that follows is your silent twin And it's a sad reminder That when you try to find her She's back on the old main drag in trouble again Ten Hail Marys and she's ready to score Dealing with the damage of a grown-up war But turning tricks and tourniquets Are nothing more than another wasted day Cinderella's on the corner with her eyes in tears Waiting for the moment when the magic appears They expected her home for the past two years I guess she lost her way The tide is always turning Deep inside your desire's burning And you're dying just to get away You thought you had it down When you first came to this town Now you're begging for a helping hand And a brand-new day You're begging back all that Seven Sisters took away Can you get it back again? Get it back again And I wish I could escape From the old main drag From the old main drag
