CAPO II Intro: I made a choice that very night To become a slightly better man I started white-washing my hands Of all those passings And as you waited alone in your car outside I politely but quite firmly declined your Invitation for the evening So hold out your weary hands, Let me tell your fortune again. Your future is brighter than you'll ever know Now that we are on our own. Interlude (same as Intro) And there are things you deserve to know, The rest you have to earn. I have no remorse. And as soon as I hung up the phone I knew That this disaster was finally through. And I could hear through the cloudy line That this took you by surprise. So hold out your weary hands, Let me tell your fortune again. Your future is brighter than you'll ever know Now that we are on our own. And it's true that I have no idea What the universe has in store. But I do know that when you think it can't Get any worse, It does... It does... It does. So hold out your weary hands, Let me tell your fortune again. Your future is brighter than you'll ever know Now that we are on our own.
