The Badlees - Sister Shirley

Everyone that should has got their dark glasses on
But it`s not as warm as I expected
I`ve paraded your photo through San Mateo
Dreamin` `86 was resurrected

CHORUS

And some thought they`d seen you, sister Shirley
I swear I saw you meeting them
With better clothes and a different smile
Where on Earth should I begin

Northern California`s got that brochure appeal
But where`s the wine that you poeticized
Nineteen and pregnant and hatin` the means
You responded to your thought dream cries

CHORUS

Sun affirms the Bayshore Freeway, the moon burns bright in Burlingame
Two weeks straight our Daily Bread`s conclusions turn the same
Face me if and when I face you, black and white, how we embrace you

We love you and we hate you

CHORUS

What`s your name now, sister Shirley
Did you run to better ground
