I do relate to you in
So many ways
But I didn't go through
What you must have in those early days
You had to be strong
At such a very young age
A new life on Lima Lane
So won't you listen to me now?
There's something I never told you
But I'm about to try
See, you were my lifeline
When the world was exploding, yeah
You moved back in with us
In the fall of '82
I fell into dark times
And you were there to help me through
You told me that a downturn will eventually improve
And you were right
So I'm thanking you
So won't you listen to me now?
There's something I never told you
But I'm about to try
See, you were my lifeline
When the world was exploding
Footholds eroding
Had you never been my friend
I wouldn't be
Quite what you see
I wouldn't be
The man I am

Sister, you've known me
(Sister, you've known me)
Lost in a strange world
(Sister, you've known me)
What has it shown me?
(Sister, you've known me)
What has it done for us?
(Sister, you've known me)
Sister, you've known me
(Sister, you've known me)
Lost in a strange world
(Sister, you've known me)
What has it shown me?
(Sister, you've known me)
What has it done for us?
(Sister, you've known me)

October chill
In that dusty town
When Halloween came
I was still feeling down
Momma, lost my sweet tooth
What's the point in going 'round?
Your boy is losing count
Maybe try the lost and found
