Tarot Woman Lyrics
[Instrumental Intro 00:00-01:51]
[Verse 1]
I don't wanna go
Something tells me no
No, no, no
But traces in the sand
The lines inside my hand
Say go, go, go
[Chorus]
Beware of a place
A smile on a bright shiny face
I'll never return, how do you know?
Tarot woman
I don't know
I don't know
[Verse 2]
She can take you there
The entrance to the fair
My, my, my
Ride the carousel
And cast a magic spell
You can fly, fly
[Chorus]
Beware of a place
A smile of a bright shiny face
I'll never return, how do you know?
Tarot woman
But I don't know
I don't know
I don't know
I don't know
[Instrumental Break 03:14-04:23]
[Guitar Solo]
[Verse 3]
Something in the air
Tells me to beware
No, no, no
Her love is like a knife
She'll carve away your life
So go, go, go
[Chorus]
Beware of a place
A smile on a bright shiny face
I'll never return, how do you know?
Tarot woman
I don't know
I don't know
I don't know
Hey, I don't know
