Expert lover, my baby

Expert lover, my baby
U ever had a Crystal Ball?
Ooh, expert lover, my baby
Ever had a Crystal Ball?
Expert lover, my baby
U ever had a Crystal Ball?

As bombs explode around us and hate advances on the right
The only thing that matters, baby, is the love that we make 2night
As little babies in make-up terrorize the western world
The only thing that matters, baby, is love between a boy and girl

Oh, expert lover, my baby
U ever had a Crystal Ball?
Undercover, no maybe
All 4 fun and fun 4 all

I can't remember my baby's voice cuz she ain't talkin' no more
Only the sound of love and prayer echo from the yellow floor,
yellow floor
Huh, she's sayin' – "Dear Jesus, save us from temptation
Dear Jesus, save us from hell
Save us from the madness that threatens us all
Can U hear us? It's hard 2 tell
In your name we pray"

Expert lover, my baby
Ever had a Crystal Ball?
Undercover, no maybe
All 4 fun, fun 4 all

As soldiers draw swords of sorrow
My baby draws pictures of sex (Yes, she does)
All over the walls in graphic detail - sex!

Everybody say it now
Expert lover, huh, my baby
Ever had a Crystal Ball?
Under… undercover, ha, no maybe
All 4 fun and fun 4 all

Rip it, ouch! Uh

Her mama watch her gas

Your mathematical gas

Ooh wee!
Darlin, darlin, U know U want a Cry…Crystal Ball

The only thing U can be sure of is the love we make 2night

Oh, U ever had a Crystal Ball?

Who is the man I see
where I'm supposed to be?
I lost my heart, I buried it too deep
under the iron sea.

Oh, crystal ball, crystal ball,
Save us all, tell me life is beautiful,
Mirror, mirror on the wall.

Lines ever more unclear,
Not sure I'm even here,
The more I look the more I think that I'm
starting to disappear.

Oh, crystal ball, crystal ball,
Save us all, tell me life is beautiful,
Mirror, mirror on the wall.
Oh, crystal ball, hear my song,
I'm fading out, everything I know is wrong,
So put me where I belong.

I don't know where I am,
and I don't really care,
I look myself in the eye,
there's no one there.
I fall upon the earth,
I call upon the air,
but all I get is the same old vacant stare.

Oh, crystal ball, crystal ball,
Save us all, tell me life is beautiful,
Mirror, mirror on the wall.
Oh, crystal ball, hear my song,
I'm fading out, everything I know is wrong,
So put me where I belong.

(Tommy Shaw)
I used to like to walk the straight and narrow line
I used to think that everything was fine
Sometimes I'd like to sit and gaze for days through sleepless dreams
All alone and trapped in time
All alone and trapped in time

I wonder what tomorrow has in mind for me
Or am I even in it's mind at all
Perhaps I'll get a chance to look ahead and see
Soon as I find myself a crystal ball
Soon as I find myself a crystal ball

Tell me, tell me where I'm going
I don't know where I've been
Tell me, tell me, won't you tell me
And then tell me again
My heart is breaking, my body's aching
And I don't know where to go
Tell me, tell me, won't you tell me
I've just got to know

Crystal ball
There's so many things I need to know
Crystal ball
There's so many things I've got to know
Crystal ball

["extra verse" used occasionally live]
If you should see me walking
Through your dreams at night
Would you please direct me
Where I ought to be
I've been looking for a crystal ball
To shed the light
To find a future in me...
To find a future in me...

Crystal ball
There's so many things I need to know
Crystal ball
There's so many things I've got to know
Crystal ball

Drinkin wine and thinkin bliss is on the other side of this
I just need a compass and a willing accomplice
All my doubts that fill my head cascading up and down again
Up and down around again, down and up and down again

Oh I’ve had my chances and I’ve taken them all
Just to end up right back here on the floor
To end up right back here on the floor

Pennies in a well
A million dollars in the fountain of a hotel
Fortune teller says maybe you won’t go to hell
But I’m not scared at all
Mmm mmm mmm mmm mmm
The cracks in the crystal, the cracks in the crystal ball

Sometimes you think everything’s wrapped up inside a diamond ring
Love just needs a witness, and a little forgiveness
And a halo of patience, and a less sporadic pace, and
I’m learnin to be brave in my beautiful mistakes

Oh, I’ve felt that fire, and I, I’ve been burned,
But I wouldn’t trade the pain for what I’ve learned
I wouldn’t trade the pain for what I’ve learned

Pennies in a well
A million dollars in the fountain of a hotel
Fortune teller that says maybe you won’t go to hell
But I’m not scared at all
Mmm mmm mmm mmm mmm
The cracks in the crystal, the cracks in the crystal ball

Irony, irony is hating love, hating love
For what it does to me, what it’s done to me
What it’s done, done

Pennies in a well
A million dollars in the fountain of a hotel
Broken mirrors and a black cat’s cold stare
Walk under ladders on my way to hell
I’ll meet you there
But I’m not scared at all
Mmm mmm mmm mmm mmm
No, I’m not scared at all
Of the cracks in the crystal, the cracks in the crystal ball

Drinking wine and thinking bliss, is on the other side of this

Up and down and round again, down and up and round again.

Oh, I've had my chances and I've taken them all.
Just to end up right back here on the floor.

Broken mirrors and a black cats cold stare,
