Shoving me
so I will heal
While I am
so weak I kneel
Begging she admire me

But she says her
work's not free

So I leave
the drafty tent
This will be
a ten well spent

Grab my hand and
with an effort to
Read between the lines
like you do

Chorus

Dealing with
the faith healer
and trusting
in the palmreader

Now is the time
we must get down
When the healer's
not around

Let me talk love
to you now
As if I could
show you how!

You're wonderful
but nothing new
The faith healer
can do this too

She arrives and
with a warrant
to close you down
She's been around
and sees through you

Chorus

Dealing with
the faith healer
and trusting
in the palmreader.
