Have you met my sister Magpie?
She wants to have a piece of your mind
Among the bright young things she keeps
She's a relic from the 70's

Sister Magpie tried to steal the moon
Because it shines and no one wants
To look you in the eye, sister Magpie

Flossed her teeth with fishing line
Washes off her face with turpentine
She'll stay in bed if so she please
But you never know just where you might meet

Sister Magpie tried to steal the moon
Because it shines and no one wants
To look you in the eye, sister Magpie

But at least she knows how to fly high
My sister Magpie with your wings
You touched my blackened sky
Mad sister Magpie

Good morning sister Magpie, please
Tell me where did you get all those dreams
And my how wild your garden grows
Won't you show me all the years you stole?

Sister Magpie tried to steal the moon
Because it shines and no one wants
To look you in the eye, sister Magpie
