What's Happened To My Sister

What's happened to my sister? She seems to be quite mad Once she was so happy Now she is so sad. Suddenly she announced "I want to be a millionaire, But to make happen I must become a practitioner.” Of some such thing as NLP Or other mind changing stuff. But can’t she see it hasn’t worked And we’ve all had enough. What’s happened to my sister? She didn’t use to be this way. Maybe aliens arrived from Space And took her off one day. The person that they left behind Is someone else entirely, Not someone nice like Cheryl Cole or even tiny Kylie. What’s happened to my sister? She didn’t used to drink But now I know she’s had too much From the glasses in the sink. All she talks to me about is Money cars and shoes, But it all bores me senseless And I’d rather watch the news. What’s happened to my sister? I think she is quite lonely. I hope one day she’ll realise That all her friends are phoney. And whilst she lives her other life, Her family will wait. But if she doesn’t hurry up It could be far too late.
