"I Went Dancing With My Sister" lyrics - SUFJAN STEVENS
We were, we were
We were lovers
We had no one
But armed puppets
We were touching
We were turning
We were eighteen
Get to learning
Saw your mother
At the river washing ribbons
Saw her sip, saw her sip the East River
I've seen lame men up and walking
I've seen deaf and dead men talking
And I have had enough of trouble
I've been paid in full and double
Barricade glass against the table
Break it farmers if you're, if you're able
I went dancing with my sister
Call her madam, call me mister
She wore a dress
It was nice and something
Underneath her dress was slipping
She did curse it, she did keep it
She said she did something stupid
I said: who's the master, Mira?
I can't kill or catch a fly dead
Point me in the right direction
Point me to the middle section
And I have had enough of trouble
I've been paid in full and double
Barricade glass against the table
Break it farmers if you're, if you're able
Barricade glass against the table
Break it farmers if you're, if you're, if you're able
