lyrics
The Fool sits back in the stands
The Magician holds the baton
The High Priestess is Listening
To the Empress' composition
The Emperor is first chair in the band
His second is the Hierophant
The Lovers play violins
While the Chariot rolls on the drums
Justice plays scales and ticket sales
The Hermit works the curtain
The Pulley of Fortune spins
You've got to have Strength, the show goes on
It's all narrated by the Hanged Man
Death sets the stage, a black act 1
"The water of Temperance runs in the bathroom of a virgin"
With the Devil holding out his hand, (everybody knows what he wants)
He wants the Tower to crumble and send us all packing back to act 1
But then the Star of the show shoots in
Shattering the Moon's illusion
And the Sun starts shining again
And we have our Judgement
And the World spins as it is, (and the opera is done)
Meanwhile the Fool can't believe it, he feel asleep at intermission
They say the way is wet, and still
But there are waves to upset your vessel
You'll get carried away, you can't let anything spill
It's never safe, but you'll survive, I know you will
Tarot your boat to the other shore
Once you're across, you can drop your anchor
Tarot your boat with your either oars
Once you're across, what else are they good for?
Nothing
The World is all out of whack
Who am I to Judge?
I know the Sun will turn black
And then the Moon is going to have us
Shooting Stars shoot themselves in the back
The Tower of babel will cuss
The Devil just laughs and laughs, (only he gets what the joke was)
I guarantee that water is gonna be our currency, you'll see
Till Death has it's splash
And we'll have to Hang our enemies
To keep the Strength of the wolf pack
the Wheel of Fortune has gone flat
The Hermit could have told you that
There will be no Justice
Just us at the reigns of our Chariot
So choose your lover well
Don;t settle for no Hierophant
You are the Emperor of yourself
And the Empress is who you want
She'll give you a B or a J behind one of those pillars
Make love to her Magically
Only a fool would tell her no
They say Her way is wet, and still
You can pray she will let you feel
That special place, it's not her neck or her heel
She's got it hidden away, you'll find it out, I know you will
Tarot your boat to Her other shore
Once you're across, you can drop your anchor
Tarot your boat with your either oars
Once you're across, what else are they good for?
Tarot your boat into outer space
It's time to go
We have got to escape!
