How To Become Clairvoyant

Lyrics

Benedictine, sister to Isis and the Black Madonna
 Mysteries and magic and goddess of the Nile
 She could read the stars
 Knew the secrets of the day
 And could see what kind of madness
 Was stirring around in your head
 She said my birth sign is 'Scorpio'
 We ate ourselves up and burn ourselves out
 So could somebody show me
 How to become clairvoyant
 To be one of the ones
 Who can see around corners
 And knows what's to come
 Oh, how to become clairvoyant
 That's what I've gotta know
 So just show me where to sign
 And point me where to go
 As it turns out, Miss Muffet
 Wasn't afraid of spiders at all
 She slipped across the dance floor
 At the masquerade ball
 They say she collects hearts
 The way Nero collected tears
 'Cause they don't get no older
 Down through the years
 Her lips are moving
 She's not talking
 Her hips are moving
 But she's not dancing
 She just wants to know
 How to become clairvoyant
 To be one of the ones
 Who can see around corners
 And knows what's to come
 Oh, how to become clairvoyant
 That's what I wanna know
 So just tell me where to sign
 And point me where to go
 King Poet, the holy fool
 Apostle of self destruction
 I tried it your way but I couldn't sleep
 There was too much construction
 In these strange times you wonder
 What tomorrow might bring
 If the fat lady sings
 How to become clairvoyant
 To be one of the ones
 Who can see around corners
 And know what's to come
 Oh, how to become clairvoyant
 That's what I wanna to know
 So just show me where to sign
 And point me where to go
 Now that would be a revelation
 And I also enjoy levitation
