Up Sister Lyrics - Love At The End Of The World - Sam Roberts

I've been sold down the river 

And I've been told that Jesus delivers 

But don't believe everything that you bleed 

It may mean nothing to you 

But it means something to me 

I got sidetracked and rearranged 

And like a leper, I've been estranged 

And drawn to fame like a moth to a flame 

Living hand to mouth but I'm hoping for change 

I've been drowning in the Queen's tears 

I've been staring at a square face in the mirror for years 

She feels like water and she tastes like wind 

And her fire burns hotter when the night rolls in 

You've been a saint, I've been a sinner 

You're a fat cat, I'm getting thinner 

I'm having trouble telling wrong from right 

These slippery handshakes that keep me awake at night 

Oh, I think you've seen me before 

You had your eyes on mine 'cause your grass don't grow 

This ain't a song, it's a call to arms 

There's a gathering storm, better sound the alarm 

I've been drowning in the Queen's tears 

I've been staring at a square face in the mirror for years 

She feels like water and she tastes like wind 

And her fire burns hotter when the night rolls in 

None of your friends ever know what to say 

'Cause what you wish for tomorrow, you could have today 

None of your friends ever know what to say 

'Cause what you wish for tomorrow, you could have today 

Up sister, keep your head on 

Living in the past but the past is gone 

Up sister, can you hear? 

That the future is here, the future is here now 

Up sister, keep your head on 

Living in the past but the past is gone 

Up sister, come clean 

It's a slippery slope and you're the avalanche queen 

None of your friends ever know what to say 

'Cause what you wish for tomorrow, you could have today 

None of your friends ever know what to say 

'Cause what you wish for tomorrow, you could have today
