The Fortune-Teller

 

That wet day I entered a gypsy's room

She proclaimed that she my future would read

Over the next few days what would thus loom?

Hopes the prophesies won't fill me with dread.

 

She proclaimed that she my future would read

Concentrating into her crystal ball

Hopes the prophesies won't fill me with dread

I'm as impenetrable as a wall.

 

Concentrating into her crystal ball

She begins to receive some messages

I'm as impenetrable as a wall

She says I will come across savages.

 

She begins to receive some messages

She says my cash they will attempt to steal

She says I will come across savages

They'll try rob me to my very last meal.

 

She says my cash they will attempt to steal

But I won't any of it surrender

They'll try rob me to my very last meal

Yet I'll remain the avid defender.

 

But I won't any of it surrender...

I think to myself, 'All sorts of rubbish.'

Yet I'll remain the avid defender...

If it turns out it would me astonish.

 

I think to myself, 'All sorts of rubbish.'

When I got home thieves broke into my safe,

If it turns out it would me astonish

They took thousands of cash and my agrafe.

 

When I got home thieves broke into my safe

All of the fortune-teller's words came true

They took thousands of cash and my agrafe

For the cash was fake and they never knew.

 

All of the fortune-teller's words came true

It thus made the robbers easy to track

For the cash was fake and they never knew

When they fake cash spend, police will attack.

 

It thus made the robbers easy to track

Her oracles came true, I can't believe

When they fake cash spend, police will attack

Protected me in the way she'd perceive.

 

Her oracles came true, I can't believe

It could have been bad, it could have been doom,

Protected me in the way she'd perceive

That wet day I entered a gypsy's room.
