I heard Rosetta singing a haunting lullaby. I saw the meanest men drop to their knees and cry. I heard her sad lament, its strains borne on the wind. I knew not what the meaning, I knew not what it meant. I heard Loretta laughing, echoed on the breeze. My head it started spinning, my blood began to freeze. It's been this way forever; this feeling never dies. This sisters in your dreams carried in your cries.
I saw Rosetta smiling, the sun it caught her eye. I wondered what she dreams of, she sees through every lie. And I saw Loretta swaying, inspiring your desire; the rhythm of the motion in the dancing, flickering fire. I saw the sisters shine, the men became sublime and it was a second coming but my soul, it felt divine.
