Sam Roberts - Up Sister lyrics

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 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'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, I think you've seen me before Yeah, you had your eyes on mine 'cause your gra** 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 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
