  • Stupid on the Steinway
    So sick upon a steinway
    The sailors drown
    See them talk and see them drown
    And see them drink and fall around
    Upon the floor

    Sister of mine, home again
    Sister of mine, home again

    Lonely in a crowded room
    The radio plays out of tune
    So silently
    The radio upon the floor
    Is stupid it plays Aznavour
    So out of key

    Sister of mine home again
    Sister of mine home again

    Broken on a ship of fools
    Even dreams must fall to rules
    So stupidly
    Words are all just useless sound
    Just like cards they fall around
    And we will be

    Sister of mine home again
    Sister of mine home again

    Buy a car and watch it rust
    Sister see them fall to dust
    They fall around
    In another crowded room
    Paint me like the shirt I'm in
    Honestly

    Sister of mine, home again
    Sister of mine, home again

    Sister of mine
    Sister of mine
    Sister of mine
    Sister of mine
