Oh my sister What did you say to them You've got to use a little tact Leave out words like "bombs", "gurus", or "India" You won't set the world on fire If you separate yourself from them like that Oh my sister You are so critical How did you ever get this hard He only wanted to kiss you And when he couldn't "score" He told his friends And now all the boys are afraid of you Of us all you were most modest Even though you were last to lower your hem Throw your jeans out the window Put them on behind the fence Oh I laugh - you put such feeling Into your indifference Oh my sister You don't know why I love you it could be The untouchable innocence That I see in you sometimes Or the loss that I feel When you pass through my mind Or maybe because I'm supposed to Oh my sister Where are you living now You left "nirvana" as your forwarding address Well - that's very funny from a mile and a half But up close at home it's not like that Why don't you send us a letter Oh my sister...
