I'm a Fool who reads your Tarot Cards To find the Magic in your soul I see a Priestess there An Empress, King, and Clown. A Preacher’s within And Lovers too In Chariots down Life's road Paved with Courage, Light, Fortune and Justice Turned Upside Down. Death comes even to the Self-controlled, To Devils Fallen and to Stars, To howlers at the Moon And in the Sun. Till finally comes our Judgment Day After mastery of the World So we fools can start again Our wayward run. Chorus Yes, I Play the Fool with Tarot. Won't you play the game with me? There are no rules. We're all just fools We're playing Don't you see? Just playing Don't you see?
So, I throw the cards, You read with me, But not the way you think. You see, the Tarot cards End up reading you. Wands speak of your power, Your life evolved, Of eros, strife and grace. They open heart and soul, To show what's true.
Cups tell of your loves, Your friendships, They overflow; they break. Sometimes they empty out Their bitter dregs. Does she still love me? Will he say “yes?” And why am I alone? Tarot gives the answers Every player begs. Chorus Yes, I Play the Fool with Tarot. Won't you play the game with me? There are no rules. We're all just fools We're playing Don't you see? Just playing Don't you see?
Swords are about what's on your mind Thoughts that wound, confine, and kill About freedom from blindness, Nightmares and from pride, About trickery and hurt feelings, Crossed hearts and wounded souls About blindfolds dropped To see what others hide.
And then at last, There are those coins “Pentacles” they’re named About the world of matter, Poverty, and wealth About old age, And days gone by What's been lost and gained About work and building Children, choice, and health.
And finally we come to the Court Cards Kings, Pages, Knights, and Queens, Who stand for those in life Who sometimes cause you pain, Or for those at home or in the world Through bitter and through sweet Offer kindness and hope Without any thought of gain Bridge Yes, the Tarot Cards Reveal it all: What’s inside, And what’s out, The future, past, and present, Good and bad. They open up the darkness, So light can walk about To show what makes us happy And sometimes sad. Chorus So, join me in this Tarot game. Yes, play the game with me. There are no rules. We're all just fools We're playing Don't you see? Just playing Don't you see?
