lyrics

It was a cold night
There was a fire on the television
Can't you see that I'm waiting for my sister,
Waiting for my sister

Shot to the mouth
I was higher than a rocket
Can't you see that I'm waiting for my sister,
Waiting for my sister

Boots on the ground
They're coming into your house
Can't you see that I am looking for my sister,
Looking for my sister

Never close your eyes
Never close your eyes
(Distant as sunlight fading
Far as the passing night
Something afraid of waiting)
Something just a little bit

19 and 33 all over again
Can't you see that I'm just looking for my sister,
Have you seen my sister?

I'm dead on the floor
Now I see your little face
I say hello to my sister,
How the hell you doing sister?

On the way down past reputable returns
I say goodbye to my sister,
See you later sister

But it's this goddamn cold
And the spaces in between
That I no longer even miss her,
I no longer even miss her

Never close your eyes
Never close your eyes
(Distant as sunlight fading
Far as the passing night
Something afraid of waiting)
Something just a little bit
