Joy Division

Sister Ray

Jimmy came from Carolina

Wants to know a way to earn a dollar

Says he's suffering with a fever

Just like Sister Ray says

I'm searching for my mainline

I couldn't hit it sideways

I'm searching for my mainline

I couldn't hit it sideways

Jimmy's got a new piece

Lying cold for a quarter hour

Took it out of his suitcase

Shot him dead right on the floor

Hey man, you shouldn't do that

Don't you know you'll stain the carpet

Hey man, you shouldn't do that

Just like Sister Ray says

Too busy sucking on a ding dong

Hey don't you know you'll stain the carpet

Too busy sucking on my ding dong

Hey you know you shouldn't do that

I'm searching for my mainline

I couldn't hit it sideways

I'm searching for my mainline

Going to count one, two, three, four

Jimmy came from Carolina

Wants to know a way to earn a dollar

Says he didn't like the weather

It's just like Sister Ray says

Hit on it Jim - hit on it Jim --

Had a good night - had a good night --

Jimmy's got a new piece

Cold hearted for the fingering

Took it out in front of him

Shot him dead right on the floor

Hey man, you shouldn't do that

Hey don't you know you'll stain the carpet

Hey man, you shouldn't do that

Don't you know you'll stain the carpet

It's just like Sister Ray said

Just like Sister Ray said

Had a good night - had a good night --

Had a good night - had a good night --

Just like Sister Ray said

Just like Sister Ray said
