lyrics

Fortune teller come and read my mind
Well I can play the part but I can't write the lines
Sound the whistle for my curtain call
Stand me up and put my back up against the wall

Oh and all the lies you been telling me
When you run your fingers up my hands,
Underneath my sleeve
I can tell you're trying to tell me where to go
But you've been telling lies since a long time ago

Fortune teller come and lead my way
I'll meet you in the city by that old cafe
You know the one where the streets were never paved
The lights are always dim and they always draw the shades

Oh and all the lies you been telling me
When you run your fingers up my hands,
Underneath my sleeve
I can tell you're trying to tell me where to go
But you've been telling lies since a long time ago

Oh won't you come to see
Just what you've done to me
Well you can see my lines run deep
You come to watch me bleed again

Fortune teller, my eyes been blind
As long as I remember in a long lifeline
Now underneath the sun by the ocean I will stand
But you come with the clouds laying shadows on my sand

Oh and all the lies you been telling me
When you run your fingers up my hands,
Underneath my sleeve
I can tell you're trying to tell me where to go
But you've been telling lies since a long time ago

Fortune teller, please rest assured
It's probably just a rumor, but the last I heard
You have a reputation spreading poison as your words
You lead them down the wrong way and burn them in the third

Oh and all the lies you been telling me
When you run your fingers up my hands,
Underneath my sleeve
I can tell you're trying to tell me where to go
But you've been telling lies since a long time ago

Oh won't you come to see
Just what you've done to me
Well you can see my lines run deep
You've come to watch me bleed again

Fortune teller, your war's been won
You flanked me with your trickery and tied my guns
Now I'm in the valley where I seldom see the sun
And you, my friend were always a phantom on the run
