The Lyrics
I'll fortune-tell for you.
Where's your lifeline?
I talk of it but don't tell you
That I'm lyin',
Flat-out lyin'.
This pose is a scam; it's
Like Sylvia Browne,
Pseudo psychic lady
Who's so full of it her eyes are brown.
I fortune-tell for you;
You buy my line--
Pay's fine.
I lie to,
Lie to youse. . .
Lifeline ruse,
Buy-line ruse--pay me now;
It's a high fare
For chicanery,
But you are wowed.
Quite clearly
To all but swelled-head you,
It's just a line.
Where's your lifeline?
I talk of it but don't tell you
That I'm lyin',
Flat-out lyin'.
This pose is a scam; it's
Like Sylvia Browne,
Pseudo psychic lady
Who's so full of it her eyes are brown.
I fortune-tell for you;
You buy my line--
Pay's fine.
I lie to,
Lie to youse. . .
Lifeline ruse,
Buy-line ruse--pay me now;
It's a high fare
For chicanery,
But you are wowed.
Quite clearly
To all but swelled-head you,
It's just a line.

Direct and to the point - of your ax. How do you think they make their money? I was with a friend who was arguing with somebody else about Sylvia Browne just last Sunday. They all say the same thing.
