"Sister Ray" tem 17 minutos e 29 segundos, sendo a faixa mais longa do álbum *White Light/White Heat* e a maior composição de estúdio já lançada pela banda.
A letra foi escrita por Lou Reed e narra oito personagens, incluindo um vendedor de maconha transvestido que conduz um grupo de drag queens e marinheiros em uma cena de deboche e violência.
Reed descreveu a história como “uma cena de decadência total” em que a polícia aparece enquanto a gangue continua a fazer um orgia de drogas.
O compositor afirmou que a música “foi sobre um traficante gay”, revelando a temática explícita de sexualidade e consumo de drogas que permeia a letra.
A crítica de Lester Bangs destacou em 1970 que, apesar de sua estrutura básica de funk, a faixa evolui para “estruturas sonoras de incrível complexidade” ao longo dos seus 17 minutos.
