lyricsThere was a palmist laying cards upon the airand then a storm breathed deep and blew them out nowhere A box was spilling emptiness around the heated room A lamp was shining blue and dim and throwing round ist gloom Some things are leaving and some others, they must stay How can you know what's going to happen today Some folks must be here and some others got to go You never know .... You think you found someone and the next day he'll be gone and then again you start to run and feel alone Nothing's gonna work out well if you need somebody else Some might be alright, but some should go to hell. Some folks are leaving and some folks must stay How can you know what will happen today? Some got to be here, and some others got to go You never know ... Some kids are born into a world of joy and wealth and there are others who lack toys, and even health How can you tell them why they don't have what they need and others die because they have too much to eat Some folks got all the luck and some folks never live and fortune scatters seeds, it doesn't plan to give. it's up to fate what kind of ground you fell upon, if your hands clutch dirt or love or a silver spoon, II: if you lost or won There was a war in a country not so far and the people, they were scared of this ugly, dirty war Some of them were dying, and some others, they were saved and for some there was a future and for some there was just hate Some folks are leaving and some folks must stay How can you know what's going to happen the next day? Some got to be there and some others got to go You never know ..... * |

lyricsWell, the world ain't shattered,but sure it ain't safe All the winds are alert, You just got to be brave There are hate and suspicion And maybe better ways Is it faith or superstition what it takes to be amazed? One dream's killed, but another was born, and the devil a-dancin, Gabriel blowing his horn and the world keeps turning, and the prophets don't care, Which value is burning, or if a man's bare. All the fairies are hidden in their flowers in spring and if you ask Merlina she won't tell you anything all the drops in the ocean, they are sad and they cry. But the Lords of the darkness, they enjoy their apple pie. Your houses are high, your falls are deep your cars are fast, but the bridges too steep Good days tend to leave, yet the beast is asleep and the hope in the party is powered by greed. You try anything, and you got luck. You got everything, and now you got stuck. and the rails of your brain don't lead far any more. and your feelings are sold, and your heart is a whore. A room full of vigilance, a stock full of fears, and a little box of knowledge and wisdom full of tears. and the times aren't right for paradise birds each idea got his bride and some got more than they deserve. All the mermaids in the waves they dive and they sink the sirens stop singing and the magic dragons shrink. and the love and the promises are laughing in the sky and a little dog's howling at the stars passing by. * |

lyricsDown in the ocean is a little catfishHe used to be my best friend in a childish wish Up in the sky there is a big fat bird His wings cast shadows where no sound is heard Far in the distance is a story book casting spells oneveryone who doesn't look On the sand is a castle with a king inside andhe has forgotten how to kiss his bride and I got runes in my bag and a crystal ball, you can ask me anything, I will predict it all But it's up to you if it's coming true - it's your own decision what you're gonna do I'm a fortune teller and it's hard to be decent in a world which is haunting me Down in the alley is a sick old man and he keeps his brain in a frying pan Floating on the river is a paper boat It's delivering wisdom to the ones who know And on top of the mall the witches ride their brooms, there ain't no more ups and downs and there ain't no doom A young girl is dancing upon a star and then she gets run over by a model car I got runes in my bag and premonition inside and fear is on my shoulder and the light's too bright I foresee what's gonna happen, but it's up to you, you can believe it ot not, what's true is always true It's hard to be a fortune teller anyway, your world is haunting me, your value is decay Merlin's grandson made satellite which can light the whole world in all parts at night and now the ravens sing it in their croaking voice: you must look, you must work, you must, you've got no choice The children can't write and they can't even speak and they can only see when they're watching TV They got a button on their back and a little key and robots produce them in a factory I still got runes in my bag and a crystal ball - my cards on the table trying to warn you all and the nothing in the world is such an awful lot that you ain't really got a thing of those you think you got I'm a fortune teller and it's hard to be decent in a world which is haunting me I'm a fortune teller and it's hard to be friendly in your world world because it's haunting me I'm a fortune teller and it's hard to be - to be in a world which keeps on haunting me I'm a fortune teller and it's hard to be - your world is haunting me, yeah it keeps haunting me * |
