Tarot Woman

I don't wanna go

Something tells me no, no, no, no

Traces in the sand

Lines that set my hand

Go, go, go

Beware of a place

A smile of a bright shining face

I'll never return, how do you know?

Tarot woman

I don't know

I don't know

I don't know

She can take you there

The entrance to the fair

Mine, mine, mine

Ride the carousel

And cast a magic spell

Fly, fly

Beware of a place

A smile of a brigh shining face

I'll never return, how do you know?

Tarot woman, well I don't know

I don't know

I don't know

I don't know

Stargazer

High noon, oh I'd sell my soul for water

Nine years worth of breakin' my back

There's no sun in the shadow of the wizard

See how he glides, he's lighter than air?

Oh I see his face!

Where is your star?

Is it far, is it far, is it far?

When do we leave?

I believe, I believe, yes, I believe

In the heat and the rain

With whips and chains

To see him fly

So many die

We build a tower of stone

With our flesh and bone

Just to see him fly

But don't know why

Now where do we go?

Kill The King

Danger, danger the Queen's about to kill

Stranger, stranger and life about to spill

Oh no move me out of harm

I need a spell and a charm

Fly like the wind

I'm no pawn, so be gone, speed on and on

Kill the king

Tear him down

Kill the king

Strike him down

Power, power it happens every day

Power, devour all along the way

Oh no, move me out of harm

I need a spell and a charm

And fly like the wind

I'm no pawn, so be gone, speed on and on

Kill the king

Strike him down

Treason, treason, the spectre looms again

Treason, reason, the realm is safe and then

Oh no, move away from harm

I need a spell and a charm

Fly like the rainbow

I'm no pawn, so be gone, speed on and on

Kill the king

Tear him down

Kill the king

Yeah, take his crown

Oh, kill the king

Go take his crown

Yeah, yeah, kill the king

Strike him down
