Big Engine - Sister Mary lyrics

Sister Mary's got some Strange medicine lately Keeps her up all night Makes her sleep all day Woke up this morning to the pouring rain Sister Mary cries on the floor She drank some coffee and she tried to explain What she stayed up all night for She says I know how it feels and what it means To crash the sky, to fly so high on the wings of my dreams Well every diamond shines but every flower fades And Sister Mary won't be the same She checked her makeup and I lit her cigarette And she says mirror mirror on the wall Who's the fairest child with a soul full of regret? And nothin' thrills me anymore She says remember when your friends called me the queen They used to hang around, make whistle sounds back when I was 16 I'm so afraid to hear what they'd call me today Your Sister Mary oh what a shame And I promise I remember Days of poetry and pain And she swore that she would never surrender Sister Mary won't be the same
