Zodiac Killer

You gesture towards your lamp, a semiprecious stone
little lightbulb that’s inside supposed to clear the ozone
You speak of ancient cultures and of body politic
But if I mention peer review it makes me sound like I’m a dick

Wasn’t born under a sign
Have delusions that I’m free
But even if I’m wrong it’s your assumptions that offend me
Won’t you try to get to know me, make me drop my guard
And maybe then you could read me without tea leaves and tarot cards

Forego your old conclusions here’s a new hypothesis
It was lies of men before me that led me to this
Incensed by harmless mentions of magic and of fate
If I were stronger in conviction I could reach that zen state

Wasn’t born under a sign
Have delusions that I’m free
But even if I’m wrong it’s your assumptions that offend me
Won’t you try to get to know me, make me drop my guard
And maybe then you could read me without tea leaves and tarot cards

Wasn’t born under a sign
But just in case I was
I’ll try to test my fate like every self-important hero does
try to be more open minded
But naively I still pray you’ll join me at my party without knowing it’s my birthday

Wasn’t born under a sign
But even if I’m wrong it’s your assumptions that offend me
Won’t you try to get to know me, make me drop my guard
And maybe then you could read me without tea leaves and tarot cards
