I'll Scry Instead

[Verse 1]

Dear Madame Maenad, in answer to your ad

I enclose a cheque for eleven pound, ten

My time of birth is nine twenty-three a.m

Dear Madame be clear: will I be rich next year?

Please send me my birth chart in the S.A.E

And I'll allow fourteen days for delivery

[Chorus]

Up above Venus is in my house

I'm in love with an Aquarius

In the sky, Mars is in retrograde

I'd be richer if that cheque wasn't paid

[Verse 2]

Dear Miss Rosa Lee, tell me my destiny

I enclose my vibes with a print of my palm

I'd like the full works, plus the box of assorted charms

Dear Rosa, don't stall: look in your crystal ball

Please send the tea cup back, as it's part of a set

It's wrapped in cellophane, near the gris-gris and amulet

[Chorus]

Up above, Venus is in my house

I'm in love with an Aquarius

In the sky, the moon is in perigee

I'd do better with a fortune cookie

[Chorus]

Up above, Venus is in my house

I'm in love with an Aquarius

In the sky, Mars is in retrograde

I'd be richer if that cheque wasn't paid
