lyrics

Oh girls – here’s an education for you:
leave your hands there on the plate
while I test your bones
And take all the money that you
saved for those distractions –
you won’t be needing gold
to navigate the place we’ll go…

I’ve found an ending you never will believe
I’ve found an answer
in a stack of cards, a southern star
and in my Grandmother’s tea leaves

Now we could make you captain,
or we could make you slave,
I sense a comfortable reaction
to the promises I’ve made…
Malleable though you may be,
you’re not ready for your grave,
so listen while I contemplate
the time you still can save…

I’ve found an ending you never will believe
I’ve found an answer
in a stack of cards, a southern star
and in my Grandmother’s tea leaves

…and my olfactory nerve is controlling my eyes
and my optical senses are touch in disguise,
and the only thing left is my sense of surprise…

I’ve been accused of excess,
been haunted and morose
But the canvas in my corner
just won’t bear a smaller dose
Some say we are suffering
from a lyrical disease
But when we turn our backs around,
they’re sobbing on their knees

I’ve found an ending you never will believe
I’ve found an answer
in a stack of cards, a southern star
and in my Grandmother’s tea leaves
