Years ago
Mom went to the temple
She received a fortune stick saying,
"Your daughter will be in trouble.”
I met a psychic on the corner of the street
She said someone cast a spell on me
She said someone put that voodoo on me
"You never had any luck with love
Your soulmate was waiting
But you will miss him inside New York City subway"
Twist of fate.
Looked at every stranger's face on subway platform
Talked to my astrologer late at night
He said,
"I just read your tarot card over my pizza plate.”
He said,
"Fill the credit card form and take your personality test."
I told him
I have fantasies of death
He immediately said,
“Give me the cash instead.”
Twist of fate.
"Buy 99 roses" he said,
"And wrap a ten-dollar bill around
And send them to me.
"I will let money wed the rose
I will make magic potions out of souls
The broken-heart birthmark on your neck
Is not just pure coincidence
My test will make you feel at risk
My forecast will make you feel fake
But it is the
Twist of fate."
"I am the master of human destinies,"
A prophet promised
Fame and fortune would knock on my door
Deserts and seas I would explore
Exotic cities all under my feet
"Fame is in your palm
Stars are shining above
But just believe
Everything is a
Twist of fate. "
But tell me about love,
Where is my sweetheart?
"Oh, love,
Love is a poets' lute
Love is a mirage
In the deserts
The more you chase
The farther it recedes
Follow the yellow brick road and
See the architects of your fate
They will build your love castle
In a twist of fate.
So I traveled like Dorothy
With a broken heart tattooed on my chest
Casanova stopped me on the road
We talked about Romeo and Juliet
He said Romeo would be my pillow tonight
He would melt under my tongue like crazy
"Come to have tea with me
There is no armor against our fates
But you will see a
Twist of fate."
Saw a geek pretending to be a psychic in Drip,
He wore sneakers and thick glasses
He did not even wear a T-shirt
He mumbled that he
Could read my chart.
He brought out a love calculator
"Ten dollars, and
I will give you an answer in two seconds."
“Have you ever lost money so quickly, my friend?"
I asked
He is playing
The twist of fate.
I am searching for a solution,
But it seems that I will end up in confusion.
Asking questions in front of all saints
I wonder if Buddha dated,
Would he end up the same
Twist of fate?
