Fortune Teller

Calexico · Algiers [2012]

I was just standing turning around

That's when they caught me heading down

Keep on going don't look away

That's what they tell me, that's what they say



You're a pretty thought I suppose

I'm just trying to hold up as I go

And one day I swear I'll spread my wings

I'm on my way to finer things



It wasn't just me playing those games

Still it's my own fault just the same

I opened up, I let you in

Now these crystal fields are wearing thin



I'm walking with the fortune teller

I can see my own way home

But I don't like this dark road anymore

And I don't wanna be alone for long



Don't wanna be alone for long

I don't wanna be on this dark road alone
