Album: The Magician's Birthday (1972)

Crystal Ball

Do we live our lives in moderation?
Does this appear when you're around?
And the deeper in debt
The harder the bet
Your thoughts are one of a clown

Look out before you sign
Your soul away
The crystal ball, it seems
Is not reading to - reading today

Does the time seem right
For some rethinking?
It seems a gift that you have
Are you living a dream
Of express progress?
It's just a thought that you have

Oh, you should've know better
When the warning light was lit
As it did for others
You preach a sermon
When you talk of the Messiah
We are yet to discover

Thinkin', lovin', feelin'
But disbelievin' ...
