Sister Songtext
von Young Fathers

Halle, halleluyah, halle, halleluyah
Halle, halleluyah, halle, halleluyah
Halle, halleluyah, halle, halleluyah
Halle, halleluyah, halle, halleluyah

Terrified a little
She grabs my hat to settle
Uniformed hero
Scared of jaggy nettles
Incoming sounds
Think its heavy metal
Cohesive and loud
Angels roaring like a lion
On the white and yellow lines

We′re standing before the red line
And I'm thinking, "Not now"
Figures standing in the middle
Dressed in all yellow
With his hat down and a stop sign
He shouts, "Come now"


Waterfalls appear in the centrefold
Bite your lady with your teeth like an animal
Like the desert in the nights it gets cold
To get the credit scan your barcode
The faults of mummy discipline and her comforts
Respiratory food and water the constructs
Rival siblings technicolour dreamcoats
Sister let me have some sugar in my porridge oats

Halle, halleluyah, halle, halleluyah
Halle, halleluyah, halle, halleluyah
Halle, halleluyah, halle, halleluyah
Halle, halleluyah, halle, halleluyah

Living, happy, godless, gimmick
Power, poison, millions, dollar
Ocean, walking, knowing, hoping
Freezing, leaving, greedy, coward
Brother, mother, licks her
Father, trapping, other, shifting
Colour, trailing, fading, looking
Making, combat, owning, picture


Witness, loser, chooser, giving
Testing, woman, turning, silent
Hussel, future, level, jacket
Wretched, chemist, scumbag, cliche
Friendly, prefect, reflect, process
Precious, answer, statement, simple
Aiming, target, easy, virus
Control, image, changing, wasting

Halle, halleluyah, halle, halleluyah
Halle, halleluyah, halle, halleluyah
Halle, halleluyah, halle, halleluyah
Halle, halleluyah, halle, halleluyah...
