Palm Reader

Just give me a call when you feel better

But you never do, and I'm just another debtor

To some palm reader

Whose got her hands mixed up

Palm reader's breath smells of brandy and cigarettes

As she sells me sweet forgets

She needs somethin' 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 alright

'Cause it's so good to believe

But you turn my hope into a weapon

I kept your sweater till the scent was gone

Wrapped up in my hands when the days were long

But I'm still sniffing

I walk alone on the concrete with the livin'

Where pigeons fly till 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

Oh, tell me everything will be alright

'Cause it's so good to believe

We can 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, place where I'm livin'

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 go, let me go

Let me go

Believe in me and this lie

Tell me everything will be alright

'Cause it's so good to believe

We can 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
