I used to like to walk the straight and narrow line
i used to think that everything was fine
sometimes i'd like to sit and gaze for days through sleepless dreams
all alone and trapped in time
all alone and trapped in time
I wonder what tomorrow has in mind for me
or am i even in it's mind at all
perhaps i'll get a chance to look ahead and see
soon as i find myself a crystal ball
soon as i find myself a crystal ball
Tell me, tell me where i'm going
i don't know where i've been
tell me, tell me, won't you tell me
and then tell me again
my heart is breaking, my body's aching
and i don't know where to go
tell me, tell me, won't you tell me
i've just got to know
Crystal ball
there's so many things i need to know
crystal ball
there's so many things i've got to know
crystal ball
["extra verse" used occasionally live]
if you should see me walking
through your dreams at night
would you please direct me
where i ought to be
i've been looking for a crystal ball
to shed the light
to find a future in me...
to find a future in me...
Crystal ball
there's so many things i need to know
crystal ball
there's so many things i've got to know
crystal ball
