Lyrics for I'll Scry Instead
I'll Scry Instead 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 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 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 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 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
