Sibling Rivalry

[x_lydia]

Tune: Hallelujah (Leonard Cohen)
Lyrics: Susanna R. A. Miller

To tease my sister - where's the crime? -
but now she says it's payback time,
her solemn little face devoid of pity;
and she's marched me upstairs to her room
to face the facts and face my doom,
which mum and dad agreed on in committee.
in committee, in committee
in committee, in committee

And she's popped a shiny DVD
into a tiny pink TV
to play cartoons, or should I say anime?
And she's taped my eyelids open wide,
my bit of fun's undone my pride;
I'm only glad right now my friends can't see me.
they can't see me, they can't see me
they can't see me, they can't see me

For she's tied me to her favourite chair
with scarlet ribbons from her hair
and pink duct tape, bought for her in the city,
And she's left the room and left me there
to stare and stare and stare and stare
at nothing but the world of Hello Kitty.
Hello Kitty, Hello Kitty
Hello Kitty, Hello Kitty

I'm truly sorry, sister dear;
I think I've learned my lesson here,
but I understand if I must stay here longer,
And when you undo this tape - these ties -
from torso, ankles, wrists, and eyes
my heart will stay in bonds unseen yet stronger.

Hello Kitty, Hello Kitty
Hello Kitty, Hello Kitty

For I've learned that love can be kawaii,
and beauty stands five apples high,
and bright red bows make everything so pretty,
And someday, when I wed a wife,
I know I'll have a happy life
with someone by my side like Hello Kitty.

Hello Kitty, Hello Kitty
Hello Kitty, Hello Kitty...
