Royal Canoe - Soothsayer Lyrics

I see one thousand others
Dressed up like my baby's mother
No you don't pay
And you can rub up on it for a smile or a sonnet
No you don't pay

Soothsayer soothsayer don't say a word
Daddy wouldn't buy you a mockingbird
Soothsayer soothsayer don't say a thing
Daddy ain't a-buying no diamond ring

I see kindness in your eyes
But I didn't want to know
You're a pillar of virtue
So into the alley I go

I know the name of your favourite colour
I know what you're dreaming about
I know why you take off your shoes in the summer
I know why you're too scared to shout

So burn all your bridges I've heard your excuses
No there is no reason to doubt
I'll show you the face of the one who adores you
I'll help you to figure it out

I'll tell you the day
(I wouldn't dare I wouldn't dare
I don't care I don't care)
The day that you die
I'll show you the one
The one you despise

Soothsayer soothsayer shining your light
Daddy doesn't want to stay up at night
Soothsayer soothsayer breaking my heart
Daddy never told me it would be this hard
