Madame Simone from Fortunes Told by Bas Clas

Too long in hard times
Too much gone wrong
That's the time they visit Madame Simone
Well she can straighten out the twists
She can ease the aches and pains
Call forth the sunshine and drive away the rain
Every service has its price and hers is high
For a bit of security you are slave to her advice

And they're chanting to you Madame Simone
Chanting the prayer loud and strong
They want to drink from the cup
To get the power
To rise up
To rise up

He thinks he’s living inside an egg
Afraid someone will crack the shell
She say come to me and we will mix you up a spell
She say nothing lasts forever
Mais cher I'm gonna try
To keep you protected until the day you die
So go to sleep now and don't awake.
I'll put you in a dreamland where you won't be hurt by your mistakes

And they're chanting to you Madame Simone
Chanting the prayer loud and strong
They want to drink from the cup
To get the power
To rise up
To rise up
Rise up

Some people wake up in the middle of the night
Only to find that they have a much clearer sight
With eyes no longer blinded or clouded by a spell
And that's when they they begin to yell
And they'll yell until they can yell no more
And then they'll write you messages until their fingers are sore

And they're chanting to you Madame Simone
Chanting the prayer loud and strong
They want to drink from the cup
To get the power to rise up
To rise up
Rise up
Rise up
Rise up
Rise up
