[Verse 1]
Keep your pennies in your pocket, honey, don’t you throw ‘em in the well
You’re lookin’ for a heaven, but you’re flirtin’ with a hell
You say you want the power, you say you want the flame
But the universe don’t care about the letters in your name
I’ve seen the way you’re lookin’, hungry eyes and heavy hearts
Thinkin’ magic is the finish when it’s only where it starts.
[Pre-Chorus]
You’re whisperin’ secrets to the stars above
Searchin’ for glory or a counterfeit love
But be careful with the silence, ‘cause the echoes never lie
And the stars don't give a damn about a "reason why."
[Chorus]
(Boom!) There goes the lightning, (Boom!) there goes the fate
You opened up the door, but you’re a little bit late
You got exactly what you wanted, but it ain’t what you need
The harvest is a monster when you plant a crooked seed!
Yeah, I’m the conduit, the rhythm, and the toll
‘Cause a wish don’t cost a dollar, baby...
It costs a piece of your soul.
[Verse 2]
I heard a boy say "I wish I could fly," so the wind took his feet
Now he’s livin’ in the clouds and he can’t find the street
I heard a man say "I wish I was known by the crowd"
Now he’s a statue in the park, standin’ silent and proud
You want a shortcut to the top? Well, the mountain’s gonna move
But the universe has got its own chaotic kind of groove.
[Bridge]
[Slow, soulful build-up]
Don’t look at me with those beggin’ eyes
I’m just the operator, I don’t hand out the prize
I’m the Bronx-born daughter of a karmic debt
The best lesson that you’re gonna get...
Is that the life you got is the one you gotta keep!
Stop tryin’ to buy the harvest while the Reaper’s asleep!
[Guitar/Sax Solo – High Energy, Chaos on Stage]
[Outro]
Yeah, the universe is listenin’...
Are you sure you wanna speak?
‘Cause the "Twist of Fate" is heavy, and the heart is often weak.
[Final high note, sustained with incredible vibrato]
...Keep your pennies, honey!
[Blackout]
