The Fortuneteller |
I never got into magic, but the magic got into me |
I’d been tangled up in love, but afraid of being free |
Men… I don’t understand them |
They take you for all you got |
And leave you howling at the moon |
And thinking of… I don’t know what… |
Yeah, I do. |
Thinking of that man |
Is he alone? |
Is he thinking of me? |
Does he still love me? |
I needed some answers. |
Deep answers … |
So there I was on the side of town where the beggars sleep |
It was late. |
Real late … |
But I knew she’d be open. |
Gypsies love the night |
I heard that from a friend who once knew one |
Sure enough her light was on and her door was cracked |
The smell of incense made the night air cry out in desperation |
But I didn’t care. |
I was looking for revelation |
So I walked in and made my way through a curtain of beads |
I put some money on the table |
And she reached for a deck of cards and said: «Sit.» |
She told me to look in her eyes |
I did… But I also kept my eye on that deck |
She gazed at a card and then she said … |
I can see that you don’t really want to know |
What your future holds as you travel down the road |
You’d rather believe that dreams do come true |
Than to find out they can lie to you |
She picked the money up from the table and stuffed it in her blouse |
I said, «Wait a minute … I was expecting a little bit more than that.» |
She said, «What do you want me to do? |
Turn myself into a cat? |
I could you know. |
And I believed here |
Everything got deadly quiet |
Man, I was scared, but I didn’t show it |
Then she broke the silence. |
«Why are your palms sweating, child?» |
God, this woman was good |
I asked her to read my palm. |
She said |
«All right, but it’ll cost you another fifty |
And then I’m going to bed. |
Gypsies hate the night… |
Gimme your hand. |
I’m gonna read between the lines.» |
I can see that you don’t really want to know |
What your future holds, as you travel down the road |
You’d rather believe that dreams do come true |
Than to find he might be leaving you |
She said … I can see that you don’t really want to know |
What your future holds as you travel down the road |
You’d rather believe that dreams do come true |
So does the man who’s followed you |
