Sister Ray (Live 1969/The Matrix) - The Velvet Underground

Sweet Sister Ray went to a movie

That had come around

It was the biggest movie

That had ever come to town

Why this is the weirdest movie

I've seen in my days

I've never seen a stranger film anywhere

Why I must be dead

'Cause i never felt this way ailve

Oh I've never felt this way

Since nineteen fifty-five

Just then Sister Ray

Felt a hand on her knee

a young crippled orphan

And I come here constantly

Why it's just like a mental hospital

Those don't have any locks

Just then comes in the doctor

Giving us electroshocks

All the vaseline on your forehead

Makes you feel so nice

My hair stood up on end

And I thought I'd been froze(?) with a knife

Oh I'm so pretty

Purple earrings and all

No one knew you were crazy

That you told 'em

Just then I saw

A hole in the ground

And I jumped right in

'Cause there was no one around

(Transcribed from original recording; La Cave, Cleveland, 28 April, 1968)
