They sleep in the back of a feminist bookstore.

The Clarke Sisters
|
The eldest sister keeps a midnight vigil.
|
The youngest sister she's not spiritual.
|
The Clarke Sisters.
|
Their steel grey hair, their lovely steel grey hair.
|
The Clarke Sisters.
|
Why don't I introduce you
|
I'm sure they won't mind.
|
But don't you dare, laugh at their collections
|
Handed down, handed down for love.
|
|
The middle sister gets her period blood.
|
The flood of love. The flood of love.
|
The Clarke Sisters.
|
Their steel grey hair, their lovely steel grey hair.
|
The Clarke Sisters.
|
|
The afternoon world, the bees have stung the softball girls.
|
The midnight world, the crystal ball down the wooden hall.
|
The treehouse stands, their early childhood, were treehouse plans.
|
And right above,
|
|
The Clarke Sisters, handed down to love.
|
Handed down to love. Handed down to love.
