[Chorus]
Crystal ball divine
See your handwriting on my wall
Say goodbye a second time
Violence, violence, violence
And I’ll be different, I promise

Stuck on the lawn
Won’t be too long (Won’t be too long, long, long)

Bought a shirt so it could turn my eyes blue
Under the carpet, under the table
Checking my numbers, keeping it stable
Afraid that I’m nervous
But I know I wouldn’t ask you even if I knew you’d heard it
[Chorus]
Crystal ball divine
See your handwriting on my wall
Say goodbye a second time
Violence, violence, violence
And I’ll be different, I promise
Comfort in the in-between
And I’ll be different, just static
Behind the crystal screen
