Sister Mother, I need your protection
Sing a prayer for my soul’s insurrection
I know it’s none of your business
But I’m in need of a hundred thousand dollar witness

Drop my wallet in the wishing well
But that’s the same old story they all tell
I know it’s none of your business
But I’m in need of a hundred thousand dollar witness

And I can understand your fear of saving souls
Still strong enough to fight
But I remember you telling me that
No one should be alone on a night with no end
(Sister Mother…)
And so it’s clear why I’m here my friend
(Sister Mother…)
To read you every single song you sent me
(Sister Mother…)
And give you back that stupid book you lent me
(Sister Mother…)
And when excuses like these don’t fit me
(Sister Mother…)
I tell them all about the power you give me
(Sister Mother…)

Certain persons, some I know quite well
Bought the ticket, now they ride first class to hell
I know it’s none of your business
But I’m in need of a hundred thousand dollar witness

Holy daughter, sprinkled over me
LaGuardian angel, lack of luxury
I know it’s none of your business
But I’m in need of a hundred thousand dollar witness

And I can understand your fear of saving souls
Still strong enough to fight
But I remember you telling me that
No one should be alone on a night with no end
(Sister Mother…)
Got to be clear why I’m here my friend
(Sister Mother…)
I need a friendly lawyer to defend me
(Sister Mother…)
Someone who’s been to the places you send me
(Sister Mother…)
And no amount of pressure ever could bend me
(Sister Mother…)
And so I’ll plant a flower to out live me
(Sister Mother…)
See It grows to show all the power you give me
(If you can lean, lean on me)
(Sister Mother…)
It grows to show all the power you give me
(If you can lean, lean on me)
(Sister Mother…)
It grows to show all the power you give me
(If you can lean, lean on me)

Sister Mother, I need your protection…
