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
|
