This graceless girl for furtherance of her guile ....
Under her black mantle would lay hidden traitorous intent ....
Always shameful deceit, on offer with a smile ....
She'd go on like this, if you let her, for hours.
Where'd she get the energy? I'll tell you the truth,
there's nothing natural about Rachel v Ruth.

I can't remember when she didn't hate my guts.
There wasn't any turning point and I can't give the whens or the whats or the whys.
But I could she her satisfied as she'd go through
All the times her sister'd flown off in a rage:
Where'd she get the energy? I'll tell you the truth,
there's nothing natural about Rachel v Ruth.

And if they dream at night
The world must seem a-right
If the nightmares come and
they're concerning their sister.

When their lovely lights will be dimmed and decayed
And there's no one left to care what it is they do or say,
They'll call each other's busy signal, not getting through,
Desperate for the chance to get the last would out,
They'll still have the energy. I'll tell you the truth,
there's nothing natural about Rachel v Ruth.

And if they dream at night
The world must seem a-right
When the nightmares come and
they're concerning they're sister.
