Sister Mary Lyrics - Singles - Big Engine

(Chorus) 

Sister Mary's got some 

Strange medicine lately 

Keeps her up all night 

Makes her sleep all day 

Sister Mary's got some 

Strange medicine lately 

Keeps her up all night 

Makes her sleep all day 

Woke up this morning to the pouring rain 

Sister Mary cries on the floor 

She drank some coffee and she tried to explain 

What she stayed up all night for 

She says I know how it feels and what it means 

To crash the sky, to fly so high on the wings of my dreams 

Well every diamond shines but every flower fades 

And Sister Mary won't be the same 

(Chorus) 

Sister Mary's got some 

Strange medicine lately 

Keeps her up all night 

Makes her sleep all day 

Sister Mary's got some 

Strange medicine lately 

Keeps her up all night 

Makes her sleep all day 

She checked her makeup and I lit her cigarette 

And she says mirror mirror on the wall 

Who's the fairest child with a soul full of regret? 

And nothin' thrills me anymore 

She says remember when your friends called me the queen 

They used to hang around, make whistle sounds back when I was 16 

I'm so afraid to hear what they'd call me today 

Your Sister Mary oh what a shame 

(Chorus) 

Sister Mary's got some 

Strange medicine lately 

Keeps her up all night 

Makes her sleep all day 

Sister Mary's got some 

Strange medicine lately 

Keeps her up all night 

Makes her sleep all day 

And I promise I remember 

Days of poetry and pain 

And she swore that she would never surrender 

Sister Mary won't be the same 

sister Mary..... 

(Chorus)x 6 

Sister Mary's got some 

Strange medicine lately 

Keeps her up all night 

Makes her sleep all day 

Sister Mary's got some 

Strange medicine lately 

Keeps her up all night 

Makes her sleep all day 

Sister Mary....
