Palm Reader

(álbum: Out Of The Vein - 2003)

Just give me a call when you feel better
But you never do and I'm just another debtor
To some palm reader
Who's got her hands mixed up
Palm reader's breath smells of brandy and cigarettes
As she sells me sweet forgets
She needs something to get her through
She runs a scam like me and you
Oh yeah, me and you

Freud said that love was a good psychosis
But I don't know, I've had too many doses
He's a creep and we all know that
He probably made it up

Believe in me and this lie
Tell me everything will be all right
'Cause it's so good to believe
But you turn my hope into a weapon

I kept your sweater 'til the scent was gone
Wrapped up in my hands when the days were long
But I'm still sniffing
I walk alone in the concrete with the living
Where pigeons fly 'til they gather 'round the fallen ones
They don't know why, neither do I
Neither do I, neither do I, neither do I

Believe in me and this lie
Tell me everything will be alright
'Cause it's so good to believe
We could turn it all around in a night
'Cause it's so good to believe
But don't turn my hope into a weapon

But don't turn my hope into a weapon

There's no one to trust except maybe the two of us
But that's in the past, the place where I'm living
Haunted by broken dreams
I read horoscopes in magazines
Especially yours in the sign of a leo
The regal ones but man, you let your claws show
Oh it's so slow, when will they let me go?
Let me know, let me go, let me know

Believe in me and this lie
Tell me everything will be all right
'Cause it's so good to believe
We could turn it all around in a night
You and I
Yeah it's so good
But don't turn my hope into a weapon
Yeah
Turn my hope into a weapon
