Now, you're heading down to get someone
Should've done what he had to do years ago
The position is coming through
All the people that you're standing on
All the people that you're standing on

Now, you're heading down to be someone
Someone that you've seen in a magazine
Your premonition is coming true
Oh, baby, you're not so green
No, baby, you're not so green
No, baby, you're nutso

Sister madly waking up the dead
Systematically stepping on my head
'Cause sister madly waking up the dead
Systematically stepping on my head

Now, you're heading down to find something
Something that you buried in your backyard
The position is coming through
From all the dirt that you're digging up
From all the dirt that you're digging up

Now, you're heading down to be somewhere
Somewhere you imagined in your wildest dream
The opposition is coming through
From all the people that you're standing on
From all the people that you're standing on
And now, you'd better take a firm hand

Sister madly waking up the dead
Systematically stepping on my head
'Cause sister madly waking up the dead, uh
Systematically stepping on my head

Now, you're heading down to get someone
Someone that you should've had years ago
The position is coming through
All the people that you're standing on
All the people that you're standing on
You're hard to get a hand on

Sister madly waking up the dead
Systematically stepping on my head
'Cause sister madly waking up the dead
Systematically stepping on my head
