7 Sisters by Wild Pumpkins at Midnight Lyrics
On Tuesday Seven Sisters came knocking at my door
I was feeling fearful but I didn't know what for
Told me that their Mother was the one who gave me dreams
They had come here to collect the usual thing
Said that I should walk with them along a dusty road
And they would show me many things and take what they were owed
Journey wasn't too far, was only 30 miles
But there was a cloud with blood-red lining in the sky
The oldest sister smiled and said "You are alone, is there anybody in there, when are they coming home?"
The first girl was Miss Guided, Miss Directed was her twin
And Miss Chief was a beauty with a dark and knowing grin
Miss Behave and Miss Ery would always disagree
But my favorite was Miss Anthropy, she wouldn't talk to me
The oldest sister said "Don't let me be misunderstood, but I have dreams to come alive if only you are good"
I looked into her eyes and said "Am I alone, is there anybody in there, when are we going home?"
Once you start the journey, you're always going home (x4)
They took me to a Leper Man lying on his mat
He said "The mist of death will cloud your eyes, you're never coming back"
They showed me seven diamonds that shone with a blue light
And seven hungry children going naked in the night
Took me to a water hole, wouldn't let me drink
Sent me ballads of desire and many other things
Till they threw me in the water, left me on my own
I sank beneath the surface and knew I was at home
I was feeling fearful but I didn't know what for
Told me that their Mother was the one who gave me dreams
They had come here to collect the usual thing
Said that I should walk with them along a dusty road
And they would show me many things and take what they were owed
Journey wasn't too far, was only 30 miles
But there was a cloud with blood-red lining in the sky
The oldest sister smiled and said "You are alone, is there anybody in there, when are they coming home?"
The first girl was Miss Guided, Miss Directed was her twin
And Miss Chief was a beauty with a dark and knowing grin
Miss Behave and Miss Ery would always disagree
But my favorite was Miss Anthropy, she wouldn't talk to me
The oldest sister said "Don't let me be misunderstood, but I have dreams to come alive if only you are good"
I looked into her eyes and said "Am I alone, is there anybody in there, when are we going home?"
Once you start the journey, you're always going home (x4)
They took me to a Leper Man lying on his mat
He said "The mist of death will cloud your eyes, you're never coming back"
They showed me seven diamonds that shone with a blue light
And seven hungry children going naked in the night
Took me to a water hole, wouldn't let me drink
Sent me ballads of desire and many other things
Till they threw me in the water, left me on my own
I sank beneath the surface and knew I was at home
