the mystic sold me down by the midway
i knew exactly which way to go
he closed the curtain, grabbed me by the hand
i didn't know which way to go
mid-week at the midway and i'm spinning
i feel fine but i say that i'm wonderful
he looked me dead in the eyes with a smile
and i'm gone
the mystic told me all about my future
now i know which way to go
he never mentioned anything of my past
he just said that i should let it go
just breathe, breathe into the distance
released my palm and showed me the door
and i believe just what that mystic told me
he never told me any lies before
