Oh sister when I come to lie in your arms
You should not treat me like a stranger
Our Father would not like the way that you act
And you must realize the danger.
Oh sister am I not a brother to you
And one deserving of affection ?
And is our purpose not the same on this earth
To love and follow His direction ?
We grew up together
From the cradle to the grave
We died and were reborn
And then mysteriously saved.
Oh sister when I come to knock on your door
Don't turn away you'll create sorrow
Time is an ocean but it ends at the shore

Intro: Ghostface Killer
Tommy Hil' rockin ice niggaz
Tommy Hil' ice rockin niggaz who fuck...
Mira, afrente
Take a one on one to this shit y'all (yeah)
Get your nostrils clear (yeah)
Come on, sniff your brains out
All my Al Capone, Al Pacino niggaz (yeah)
Who's down with drug smuggling
Cappadonna, Golden Arms
Verse One: Ghostface Killer
Yo, yo
Take out the rap kingpin, the black Jesus
I know a few niggaz sniff coke, it cause seizures
Peace to half-moon Caesars
and all the bitches in the bleachers
Hot weather, sex on the beaches
Jury shopping out of the country
Deluxe luxury, people saying dem not change
Look, truckle me
But what about the Wonder Woman bracelet
Two-oh point three diamond cut engraved rubies
Kid I laced it
My sweet tooth gotta nigga throbbin, ready for robbin
But first hit Maria's, for a butter almond
The bionic microphone is stacked mechanic
Move like a bunch of Mexicans with bandanas
Son, it's on so we can just Maximillion
I got the spot sewn, so we can make a billion
The God's tropical
Ladies call me black fruit punch
Rainbow, flavored niggas murder niggas for lunch
Peace to the Paris crew in the avenue, and my nigga Jay Love
Who carries switch blades on the red roof
Verse Two: Cappadonna
Yo, the first branch, the third leaf, whoever want it got beef
I politic, show love, crush those who dare creep
Into my realm of sunshine I praise divine
Fine line between dawn of dumb, deaf and blind
He ain't mine, he shook like the faggots on daytime
Crossed over grain while we was bubblin moonshine
Sippin on the Moet, laid up, Rae-Gambino
Mastermind the plan, Tony Starks, Cappachino
Develop while your head be swellin up all for the nation
Blinded by the ice while I release the confrontation
Donna holy fat bads of weed, ravioli
Pasta, Bodyguard the killa bee songs like Kevin Costner
Infrared all inside your bumba rasta
Cappadonna pimped the derby like the mobster
Interlude: Ghostface
Yeah, yeah
Eight spaghetti lame brain ass niggaz
Quarters, nickels, and dimes bitch
Except for overtime nigga
Any ass money should be fine
Cause I'm coming strong, reaking niggas backs
Keepin shit real
If you haven't noticed this crazy ass rusty, ass nigga
Let me tell you this four times
Tony Starks, Raekwon the chef
Cappachino and Golden Arms
Is comin through mad strong
From the isles of Shaolin
For all them faggot ass
Rusty ticket-head bitches too
Shump shump baby
Verse Three: Raekwon the Chef
Yo back in the days, baggin crack, scrapin plates
Flippin cakes to them heavy head niggaz hatin Jakes
It be us, all the war's soldiers, hangin in halls gettin over
City niggaz who for blood money rockin Rovers
Stay dipped, don't have no money in your pocket
In the streets while these people mark money in their Jeep
Crack bums watch your back for jumps
Caught before a fake twenty dollar bill
Get em son, we ain't the one
Politickin, purse vickin, sick of these Dominicans
Eatin good, had to shoot my way up out of Bennigans
That's life, to top it all off, beef for white
pullin bleach out tryin to throw it in my eyesight
Yo what the fuck was on yo mind?

Like I heard her
Backwards saying
I can take one thousand
Showers
And never be clean
Of course she lied away
She is ten times heavier
Stronger, then you found
The grave
Or ever was
He's got it down name
You know what I need
Who doesn't lie?
You know what I mean
If I'm never in
Without you
Like you don't know
I am so, angry
I am so, at ease
I feel just like
Some great big disease
I think you need
Ice water
But the only thing that
You really hate
Is all its emptiness
Ah, you'll swim
And I will drink myself to
Death
If I'm never in
Down with you

Oh, sister, when I come to lie in your arms
Please do not treat me like a stranger.
Our Father would not like the way that you act
And you must realize the danger.
Oh, sister, am I not a brother to you
And one deserving of affection?
And is our purpose not the same on this earth,
To love and follow his direction?
We grew up together
From the cradle to the grave
We died and were reborn
And then mysteriously saved.
Oh, sister, when I come to knock on your door,
Don't turn away, you'll create sorrow.
Time is an ocean but it ends at the shore

Oh sister, don't be afraid of me
I won't be nailing you down in the nursery
Just like the rest of them did
With those watery, wandering fingers that slipped
That were supposed to be glorious and fine
Oh sister, won't you believe in me
I only wanted to be hard on the family
Here with you now in this silly infirmary
Your mother makes frantic and drunk calls
From Germany all of the time
Oh sister, sweet brown and beulahery
And milk from your blisters on your grandmother's jewelry
There in the parlor all naked in front of me
Watching the lights from the cracks
Making archery animal designs
Rose Wallace Goldaline just moves her mouth over anything
Fleshy free and flowering with oranges out in the open
But don't you waste your sins again
She don't need you or won't fuck your friends
And you, you're American, so important boiling over
To prove that she must still exist
She moves herself about her fist
And never ever gave a shit
About all those words you're wasting again
Some pretty bright and bubbly wondrous dream
You'd like to kill and claim
And claim her as your own
But don't you worry
All those dainty and dirty emotions
Just go away and fade out on their own
Sister, now that we're grieving
Our fingers will falter
Our lungs will be leaking
All over each other and without even speaking
We'll know that it's over and smile and go greeting
Whatever comes next
And oh sister
You're getting married with some angry twister
That you'll have to carry home
Drunk every evening from the cemetery
And if he makes it back half alive you can
Bury him under your sheets
And oh sister
Now that you're leaving
I cannot imagine there is any meaning
Forgetting you ever could once
Had the feeling that made you keep on
And pretend you were breathing of all of this world
In an age of empty rings
I don't want to feel the thing
I don't even want to know
And Rose Wallace Goldaline
Don't you ever die on me

I been pacing the streets like a manic
God makes up in this wide spreading panic
Got the message that you sent
Don't know exactly what it meant
Easy star come back to find
A ten room flat within my mind
Standing in my doorway
Seasons keep slipping away
Counting the same old scars
Missing that easy star
Got the world to believe it this planet
I'll have no more to admit you can count it
You don't kill a kingdom when
My youth and fortune's slow gone spread
All the times I've gone too far
I caught you a twinkling easy star
Standing in my doorway
Seasons keep slipping away
Counting the same old scars

Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey!
Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey!
Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey!
Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey!
Can't you see there's something wrong? Hit me! Hit me!
My life's shitty and everything's all fucked up.
I don't do it for the song. Hit me! Hit me!
I just did it cause it's better than waking up.
They said they saw it all along. Hit me! Hit me!
But they figured that I probably made it up.
So I said fuck it, fuck it all. Hit me! Hit me!
Oh Mommy, look what I done!
Slit my wrists in ice water, you'll find me when you get home.
Slit my wrists in ice water, you'll find me when you get home.
Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey!
Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey!
Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey!
Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey!
It's like the pills don't work at all. Hit me! Hit me!
I'm not sleeping. My back's up against the wall.
And how much farther can I fall? Hit me! Hit me!
There's gotta be something better than alcohol.
But now there's no one left to call. Hit me! Hit me!
They won't miss me. Nobody will cry or ball.
So I said fuck it, fuck it all. Hit me! Hit me!
Oh Mommy, look what I done!
Slit my wrists in ice water, you'll find me when you get home.
Slit my wrists in ice water, you'll find me when you get home.
Slit my wrists in ice water, you'll find me when you get home.
Slit my wrists in ice water.

They say you taught me how to talk
Bet you wish you taught me how to stop
you're far away now, wish I could take a walk with you someplace
you explained me to our parents
English wasn't their first language
They spoke German, hated Germans
confusing times
Oh sister
down midwest backseat bumpy seats
you sang my beatles songs with me
I sang your Broadway melodies, bad harmony
and where would Willie Mays have been
without Jackie Robinson
and who can say what I'd been
without you to lead the way
after I showed some guys I could drink
You picked me of the lawn I think
And led me to the kitchen sink
Where I got rid of it
Some nights I lay awake in awe
As squinting through the dark I saw
You peeling off your teenage bra
The door slightly ajar
Oh sister
You lived just across the hall
For 18 summers, 18 falls
until you went away to that weird college in Wisconsin
and where would Willie Mays have been
without Jackie Robinson
and who can say what I'd been
without you to lead the way
trust yourself, and you can do anything
this I give to you
May your heart purr like a bumblebee
May all your backyards have a tree
May you always be HIV negative
I hope you meet some guy who
Treats women better than I do
I don't even care if he's a Jew or not
Oh sister
I remember in the temple hall
at out dear father's funeral you sang like a nightingale
one of his own songs
and where would Willie Mays have been
without Jackie Robinson
and who can say what I'd been

They say you taught me how to talk
Bet you wish you taught me how to stop
You're far away now, wish I could take a walk with you someplace
You explained me to our parents

You know, you never know
You know, yes I will ...
Wish I, wish I was a piece, but never a pawn
Oh Sister, I don't mean you no harm
Oh Sister, I don't mean you no harm
The sun, the sun it shines
The light, the light is just mine
Hang on, listen, hang on, listen
Oh Sister, I don't mean you no harm
Oh Sister, I don't mean you no harm
Oh Sister, I don't mean you no harm
Love it lies our way
Oh Sister, I don't mean you no harm

Just like the rest of them did
With those watery, wandering fingers that slipped
That were supposed to be glorious and fine
Oh sister, won't you believe in me
I only wanted to be hard on your family
Here with you now in the zillionth infirmary
A mother makes frantic and drunk calls from Germany
All of the time
And oh sister
Sweet brown and comely
I will be be milking with you making fun of me
Now that my moods are not what the used to be
there is but no one alive laying next to me
for such a long time
Oh sister, sweet brown and beulahry
milk from your blisters on your grandmother's jewelry
there in the parlor all naked in front of me
Watching the lights from the cracks making archery animal designs
Rose Wallace Goldeline just moves her mouth over anything
Fleshy free and flowering with oranges out in the open
But don't you waste your sins again
She don't need you

and Rose Wallace Goldeline
don't you ever die on me

When I ran around to the back door
To see if there's anyone there
There was not a sound of the footsteps
From a minute ago I swear
And I went to you pacing round
'Cause I can do nothing else
Moving through the bushes
Someone's shadowboxin' my house, yeah
I can't afford the comfort
This is the only way
Well I couldn't sleep all night
And I doubt I'll sleep today
And it doesn't matter where I stand
It's all the same to me
Hear the noises holler
Someone creeping around my dreams
Who's there (who's there)
I ain't scared (I ain't scared)
I'll even dare you (I'll even dare you)
To come on in
You will go (You will go)
This I know (This I know)
'Cause everyone before you did
Doesn't matter where I stand
It's all the same to me
Hear the noises holler
Someone creeping around my dreams
Who's there (who's there)
I ain't scared (I ain't scared)
I'll even dare you (I'll even dare you)
To come on in
You will go (you will go)
This i know (this I know)
'Cause everyone before you did, hey
Who's there (who's there)
I ain't scared (I ain't scared)
I'll even dare you (I'll even dare you)
To come on in
You will go (you will go)
This I know (this I know)

Nervously awaiting your arrival
I’ve got the whole night planned out.
And I will be suave, I mean a real gentleman.
I will be so glad that I left the house.
It’s been many months and I’m loosing my patience
with my own inadequacies.
But maybe with luck you’ll be love struck,
I’m not as confident as I may seem
This words sit on a dim lit screen
and meaning tries to burst through every seam
woven in characters : what I want to say
but will they ever get to see the light of day.
I’m so fed up with my hang ups,
I’ve got to stop I’ve got to stop I’ve got to stop
repeating myself, repeating these actions
i’ve got too many dead ends, too many distractions.
I’m not one for Ice Breaking.
The thought of it leaves me chilled.
But I’ll tell you a story about
a stupid thing I’ve done,
you’ll get to know how I really feel.
Now you sit opposite, I try to read your face.
my heart beats fast from the coffee in my veins.
I tell you of my lack of faith and how I don't believe
in fate
as reason we sit here today.
So tell me a joke or Tell me a story
Tell me your favourite songs and of past glories
‘cause inside there’s a flame and I can feel it growing
and I can tell by your face that it is showing.
I’m not one for Ice Breaking.
The thought of it leaves me chilled.
But I’ll tell you a story about
a stupid thing I’ve done,
you’ll get to know how I really feel.
All of my stories seem to end the same way
with “what I wanted to” or “I should have said”.
Will I’ll leave this night as one of them
and will I stand there motionless.
