It's lonely and cold in here!
Thank you for coming, sister dear,
How lovely to see your face!
How it does brighten this colourless place.
I've missed you so, tell me the news!
It's been so long since seeing the outworld,
What have I missed, who married whom?
I'd sit if I could, but I can't be still.
Does my bum look big in this?
Not much to choose from here,
Damned unflattering, nor can I run!
I fear I'm fading to nothing.
Sister, my sister, where do you go?
Sister, my sister, please stay!
Why do you leave when I want you to stay?
We're both fading, fading away ...
