Sister Shirley Lyrics - Badlees

Everyone that should has got their dark glasses on 

But it's not as warm as I expected 

I've paraded your photo through San Mateo 

Dreamin' '86 was resurrected 

CHORUS 

And some thought they'd seen you, sister Shirley 

I swear I saw you meeting them 

With better clothes and a different smile 

Where on Earth should I begin 

Northern California's got that brochure appeal 

But where's the wine that you poeticized 

Nineteen and pregnant and hatin' the means 

You responded to your thought dream cries 

CHORUS 

Sun affirms the Bayshore Freeway, the moon burns bright in Burlingame 

Two weeks straight our Daily Bread's conclusions turn the same 

Face me if and when I face you, black and white, how we embrace you 

We love you and we hate you 

CHORUS 

What's your name now, sister Shirley 

Did you run to better ground
