Lyrics

Oracle

She got your skeleton in her pocket
More bones and weighted dice
A ball jack and a razor
And some things that ain’t so nice
She got something she is up to
She got business to conclude
She is older than creation
And she ain’t got time for fools

Do you really wanna see
Some future in the palm of your hand?
What’s it gonna be?
Do you really really wanna understand?

Looking for the light
So you think you see
More than shadows on the wall?
Well I’m ready to believe -
If you show me.

She say that everyone’s a stranger
She says “Look into my eyes.”
“Do you see your own reflection
Or the way you’re gonna die?
If you see the world past Monday
Will the future set you free?
You better get your self realcertain
‘cause there’s things you can’t un-see!

What’s it gonna be?
Do you really really wanna understand?
Do you really wanna see
Some future in the palm of your hand?

Looking for the light
So you think you’re free?
Well then, show me.
