Текст песни Up Sister - Sam Roberts Band

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
