"Mail Order Mystics" lyrics

"Mail Order Mystics"

You got money, child, and I've got time
Don't say yours is heavy if you ain't tried mine
Why don't you shake out your silver and buy me some wine
I'll sell you celebration if you'll buy my time

Don't tell me about your troubles, child, 'cause I've got mine
All I wanna talk about is lovin' and wine

Don't tell me death is easy when I'm dying so slow
Go tell it to your doctor, it's what you pay him for
If he's an old one, he'll be rollin', round on the floor
It ain't that I don't hear, I just don't listen no more

You can go ahead and shoot yourself, I don't mind
But all I wanna talk about is lovin' and wine

Can't you just go out and see the stars at night
Without asking someone lucky how to see them right?
Yes, mail order mystics never had it so good
You go ahead and listen like I knew you would

It's hours of conversation all about my sign
All I wanna talk about is lovin' and wine

Don't tell me about your troubles, child, 'cause I've got mine
And all I wanna talk about is lovin' and wine
