I hate my sister, she's such a bitch
She acts as if she doesn't even know that I exist
But I would do anything to let her know I care
But I am only talking to myself 'cos she isn't there

My sister
I love my sister, she's the best
She's cooler than any other girl that I have ever met
She had the greatest band, she had the greatest guy
She's good at everything and doesn't even try

(Chorus)

She's got a wall around her nobody can climb
She lets her ladder down for those who really shine
I tried to scale it, but to me she's blind
So I lit a firecracker, went off in my eye

(instrumental break)

I miss my sister, why'd she go?
She's the one who would have taken me
To my first all-ages show
It was the Violent Femmes and the Del Fuegos,
Before they had a record out Before they went gold,
And started to grow

I miss my sister I miss my sister
I miss my sister I really miss her
