From the recording Dukkha's Nemesis
Inspired by:
a) spotting a tough-looking nun with a basketball
b) Mother Teresa - another tough but loving "sistah"
c) anyone who spends some of their finite energy on making a tough world a little softer for others

SISTER GOTTA BAD HABIT
© 2008 Patty Morris & Dukkha’s Nemesis
SISTER GOTTA BAD HABIT
SHE LOVE EVERYBODY WHO DOWN
HOLD UP THEIR HEAD WHEN THEY’RE DYIN
LIFT EM UP OFF THE GROUND
M T POCKET, M T BOWLS, M T WELLS, M T SOULS
SHE FILL EM – WITH AN ANGEL’S LOVE
SISTER GOTTA BAD, BAD HABIT
SHE HELPIN OUT A POOR MAN AND HIS WIFE
THEY SAY SHE GONNA HELP HER POOR SELF TO DEATH
BUT SHE HELPIN HERSELF TO TRUE LIFE
M T POCKET, M T BOWLS, M T WELLS, M T SOULS
SHE FILL EM – WITH AN ANGEL’S LOVE
[BRIDGE]:
SISTER, YOU ON THE WRONG SIDE OF TOWN
SISTER, WHERE EVERYBODY’S JUST DOWN
I KNOW, YOU HEAR THE PEOPLE CRY
SISTER, GIVE EM WINGS TO FLY
[SOLOS]
[BRIDGE]
SISTER GOT A TERRIBLE HABIT
THEY SAY IT’S IN THE COMP’NY SHE KEEPS
SOMETIMES SHE HANGIN ROUND WITH FOLKS WHO AINT NO GOOD
SORTA LIKE THE MAN WHO SAT WITH THIEVES
M T POCKET, M T BOWLS, M T WELLS, M T SOULS
SHE FILL EM – WITH AN ANGEL’S LOVE
SISTER GOTTA BAD SPENDIN HABIT
SHE HANDIN OUT HER LAST THIN DIME
BUT WE COULD NEVER SPEND ALL THE LOVE SHE GIVE
EVEN WHEN SISTER RUN OUTTA TIME
M T POCKET, M T BOWLS, M T WELLS, M T SOULS
SHE FILL EM – WITH AN ANGEL’S LOVE
YES SHE FILL EM UP, WITH AN ANGEL'S LOVE
GO, SISTER, FILL THEM ALL
WITH AN ANGEL'S LOVE
