Fork in the Road
Richard Thompson
That Esperanto lullaby is keepin' me in stitches
Don’t know what she’s sayin' but the sound of it bewitches
But it’s over my head
She thinks she’s queen for a day, hooray
Which way, passion or poison
Which way, get the highway code
All questions, no answers
Standing here at a fork in the road
At a fork in the road
Now Eglantine, she takes her time, she takes good aim and fires
Crystal ball is hard to read when it’s tangled in the wires
But it’s over my head
She thinks she’s queen for a day, hooray
(Chorus)
Miss Carnaby she wants to be Calliope on meth
She fits the job description if she doesn’t bleed to death
But it’s all in her head
Nobody made her that way, hooray
(Chorus x2)
