dedicated to Pamela Colman Smith

lyrics

One, the Magician who the Fool comes upon
Shows him all his secrets while the Priestess looks on
Two, all her wisdom for the Fool to possess
Three, then Empress gives him love as her test
Four and five, for His kingdom he will never forsake
Six steps in and the lovers we'll make
Now he starts to walk among the ladies and lords
When he opens up his eyes he's got twenty-one love cards

Twenty-one love cards lay it all out
With Pixie in her habit, never was there a doubt
She sighs simply with the signs all around
She got twenty-one love cards to feed a nervous breakdown
Twenty-one love cards are laid out before
Her whole life ahead of her with something in store
It's as if these words have never been brokered
When the men in charge are dealing twenty-one jokers.

Driving that train like a chariot
With the strength for the man to reach the holy land
You've been spinning that wheel only ten more times
When justice hands it to the hanged man

Twenty-one love cards lay it all out
With Pixie in her habit never was there a doubt
She sighs simply with the signs all around
She got twenty-one love cards to feed a nervous breakdown
Twenty-one love cards laid out before
Her whole life ahead of her with something in store
It's as if these words have never been brokered
When the men in charge are dealing twenty-one jokers.

Thirteen pips on a dead man's chest
And know you'll never ever doubt yourself again
Rise right up and face it down
and look right past that crumbling tower

Twenty-one love cards say it again
With Pixie in her habit never reading in vain
She sighs simply with the signs all around
She got twenty-one love cards to feed a nervous breakdown

Rise right up above the Moon
and follow the guiding star
Rise right up with the sun and the angels
will show you the world will never be far.
Rise right up.

Twenty-one love cards one more time
With the world taken over by organized crime
We sigh simply with the signs all around
We got twenty-one love cards to feed our nervous breakdown
Twenty-one love cards laid out before
With our whole lives for living and they're coming for more
It's as if these words have never been brokered
When the men in charge got twenty-one jokers.

Rise right up.
