If I'm the empress
You're the empress upside-down
String me a necklace
I've got the neck to wrap the beads around

I'm reading tarot, baby
You're reading tea leaves
We know full well neither's gonna bring us peace
I'm reading tarot, baby
I'm looking for a sign
That our fortune's turning round tonight

If I'm the empress
You're the empress upside-down
String me a necklace
I've got the neck to wrap the beads around
Empress, wove your thorns to make my crown
Spare me the mystic
We tied the knot to hang beneath the bough

But I'm still thinking about the last time I saw you
The din of the dive bar, the look that you threw
I'm still thinking about the cups, the coins, the sword you drew
Did you mean to be so cruel?

I'm reading tarot, baby
You're reading tea leaves
We know full well neither's gonna bring us peace
I'm reading tarot, baby
I'm looking for a sign
That our fortune's turning round tonight

Tonight
Tonight
Tonight

I'm reading tarot, baby
You're reading tea leaves
We know full well neither's gonna bring us peace
I'm reading tarot, baby
I'm looking for a sign
That our fortune's turning round tonight
