The Last Crystal Ball Lyrics

Mahala came from very old blood across the ocean wide

From a time when gypsies were on the run looking for a place to hide

This land is full of fortune tellers a dime a dozen for most of them all

But Mahala was the real deal the last one left with the last real crystal ball

Things she could see always came about as time faded away

Some were scared of her and called her a witch for the things she'd say

Wasn't always the kind of readings they all wanted to hear

She hadn't aged much in over thirty years but she knew her time was near

This she told me

Takes time to learn what to see and what to ignore

In a few days they'll find me in my trailer cold and dead on the floor

They'll dump me somewhere just before the carnival leaves town

Some random funeral director will lose money putting me in the ground

My things will land in some flea market mostly not worth anything

A pawn shop will get my jewels except for my favorite ring

She put that ring right on my finger then she went behind the front wall

The box she brought out and entrusted only to me held the last real crystal ball
