I Went Dancing With My Sister

We were, we were

We were lovers

We had no one

But armed puppets



We were touching

We were turning

We were eighteen

Get to learning



Saw your mother

At the river washing ribbons

Saw her sip, saw her sip the East River



I've seen laid men up and walking

I've seen deaf and dead men talking



And I have had enough of trouble

I've been paid in full and double



Barricade glass against the table

Break it farmers if you're, if you're able



I went dancing with my sister

Call her madam, call me mister



She wore a dress

It was nice and something

Underneath her dress was slipping



She did curse it, she did keep it

She said she did something stupid



I said: who's the master, Mira?

I can't kill or catch a fly dead



Point me in the right direction

Point me to the middle section



And I have had enough of trouble

I've been paid in full and double



Barricade glass against the table

Break it farmers if you're, if you're able



Barricade glass against the table

Break it farmers if you're, if you're, if you're able
