skyclad – deja-vu ain’t what it used to be lyrics
have you heard the one ’bout when a most unlucky fella,
went visiting a fair-ground for to see a fortune-teller?
she said;
“of all the palms i’ve read – yours is by far the worst.
i’m duty-bound to tell you,
you’ve been well-and-truly cursed.”
ill-fated was my selfless quest.
blind-faith a grave mistake.
i’d strived to do my very best,
to serve a dream quite fake.
just one more hapless sacrifice,
spilt tears in full-flood.
ingenuous i’ve paid their price.
not all vampires suck blood!
[chorus:]
gazed into a crystal-ball and watched it’s surface crack.
when i cut the tarot deck; death lay there grinning back.
i’ve been here many times before; again the joke’s on me.
i know the score, but deja-vu ain’t what it used to be.
-o well for him that lives at ease
with garnered gold in wide domain,
nor heeds the splashing of the rain,
the crashing down of forest trees.
-o well for him who ne’er hath known
the travail of the hungry years,
a father grey with grief and tears,
a mother weeping all alone.
to tread an unshared path alone,
was my lot from the start.
so seldom fleeting solace known,
by this rent, careworn heart.
watch the stand-up tragedy;
famous for fifteen minutes.
i glimpsed my future and decree,
saw dearth of purpose in it.
[chorus:]
gazed into a crystal-ball and watched it’s surface crack.
when i cut the tarot deck; death lay there grinning back.
i’ve been here many times before; again the joke’s on me.
i know the score, but deja-vu ain’t what it used to be.
-but well for him whose foot hath trod
the weary road of toil and strife,
yet from the sorrows of his life
builds ladders to be nearer god.
[- – taken from the verse “cry woe, woe and let the good prevail.” by oscar wilde]
