lyrics

where are you
sister eight
over by, the cigarette machine
with your red dress, and your silk style
haven't seen sister eight in awhile

she's a killer on the dance floor
coked up on candy, she can't taste it no more
all the men, dressed in black
took her to a motel
they never came back.

dance, dance with sister eight
dance, dance with sister eight

the next morning she was bruised and confused
it was time she collect all her dues
sister eight you have a rip on your dress
sister eight you have another call

dance, dance with sister eight
dance, dance with sister eight

where are you
sister eight
over by, the cigarette machine
with your red dress, and your silk style
haven't seen sister eight in awhile

dance, dance with sister eight
dance, dance with sister eight

Daniel Ruiz New Jersey

A little gothic, but mostly folk. This singer is living in the late, great, dilapidated, Atlantic City, singing songs about ruined dreams, hostile encounters, and one hell of night.
