BRILLIANT DISGUISE

I hold you in my arms
as the band plays
What are those words whispered baby
just as you turn awayI saw you last night
out on the edge of town
I wanna read your mind
To know just what I've got in this new thing I've found
So tell me what I see
when I look in your eyes
Is that you baby
or just a brilliant disguise
I heard somebody call your name
from underneath our willow
I saw something tucked in shame
underneath your pillow
Well I've tried so hard baby
but I just can't see
What a woman like youis doing with me
So tell me who I see
when I look in your eyes
Is that you baby
or just a brilliant disguise
Now look at me baby
struggling to do everything right
And then it all falls apart
when out go the lights
I'm just a lonely pilgrim
I walk this world in wealth
I want to know if it's you I don't trust
'cause I damn sure don't trust myself
Now you play the loving woman
I'll play the faithful man
But just don't look too close
into the palm of my hand
We stood at the alter
the gypsy swore our future was right
But come the wee wee hours
Well maybe baby the gypsy lied
So when you look at me
you better look hard and look twice
Is that me babyor just a brilliant disguise
Tonight our bed is cold
I'm lost in the darkness of our love
God have mercy on the man
Who doubts what he's sure of

Bruce Springsteen

A song from the Jersey Shore. Every time I go I swear I'm not coming back home. They say sea water is incredibly close to human blood. Or maybe it's the other way around.

Got a tarot reading on the boardwalk. The reader, who appears to be the real thing says my future is "fun in a weird way." There are lots of changes coming my way, but I am not convinced they are for the better. Reversals show blockages, but not opposites. Also a tendency to obsess like a hamster on a wheel. What others want for me is not what I want. What looks too good to be true might actually be true. Don't include people in my plans who are not includeable. Saying "no" is not a problem, but dealing with people's reactions to it is. Time is a challenge to me. She probably meant getting more money before time runs out. The number nine appears a lot.
