They say that I can read the future in the lines of your hand
When there's darkness all around, they say that I can understand
Normal eyes don't see
So you can't help feeling this jealousy

I seem to know the stars and stories that they whisper in my ear
They can't see through the mist of time, but to me it's crystal clear

You will never know
Cause your fantasy won't show
And if it did I know you really couldn't bear
The sight

Does anybody care to listen to what I've got to say
Or do you think it really doesn't matter anyway
People look at me
Waiting for my good advice and wondering what I can see

Will their luck change for the good or will they end in ruined state
Giving a million if they only could find peace by knowing their fate

I'm telling wicked lies
Like a devil in disguise
If I would not I don't believe they'll stand
The night

Without me the fair wouldn't be the same
So I tell them what they'd like to hear
It's part of their dreams and my crazy game
It's fun to play
The more they pay

To me your life is an open book
It's written in the cosmical signs
Oh how I wish someone could take a look
At that silly ball
To tell me all
About mine

Oh, tell me all, tell me all about mine
