Suzanne Vega - Predictions lyrics

rate me

Let's tell the future

Let's see how it's been done.

By numbers. By mirrors. By water.

By dots made at random on paper.

By salt. By dice.

By meal. By mice.

By dough of cakes.

By sacrificial fire.

By fountains. By fishes.

Writing in ashes.

Birds. Herbs.

Smoke from the altar.

A suspended ring or the mode of laughing

Pebbles drawn from a heap

One of these things

Will tell you something.

Let's tell the future

Let's see how it's been done.

By dreams. By the features. By letters.

By dropping hot was into water.

By nails reflecting the rays of the sun.

By waling in a circle.

By red hot iron.

By passages in books.

A balanced hatchet.

A suspended ring or the mode of laughing

Pebbles drawn from a heap

One of these things

Will tell you something.

Let's tell the future

Let's see how it's been done.

How it's been done.
