I'll call you sister Carrie but I'll never say it
Mute it to a whisper and spin your solar sister
And magnet will deliver an arrow from her quiver

I'll call you sister Carrie but you'll never hear it
Fifty minutes later as time pulls down her fader
And nibbles off the fakers who roll under the breakers

I'll close my eyes and listen to you read the story
Knowing I'll soon be left behind, so won't you read
Sister Carrie Jean? Sister Carrie, always the patient one

I'll call you sister Carrie, I won't breathe a word
Frosting on the beater, the flag trips down the meter
You thought you could defeat her, you're lucky you could meet her

I'll close my eyes and listen to you read the story
But I'm already far behind, so won't you read
Sister Carrie Jean? Sister Carrie, always the patient one

I'll close my life and let you teach me a new story
Out of the pages of your mind and magnet will deliver
So spin, my solar sister and you can read, sister Carrie, read
