Presto

If I could wave my magic wand

I am made from the dust of the stars

And the oceans flow in my veins

Here I hide in the heart of the city

Like a stranger coming out of the rain

The evening plane rises up from the runway

Over constellations of light

I look down into a million houses

And wonder what you're doin' tonight

If I could wave my magic wand, I'd make everything alright

I'm not one to believe in magic

But I sometimes have a second sight

I'm not one with a sense of proportion

When my heart still changes overnight

I had a dream of a winter garden

A midnight rendezvous

Silver-blue and frozen silence

What a fool I was for you

I had a dream of the open water

I was swimming way out to sea

So deep I could never touch bottom

What a fool I used to be

If I could wave my magic wand, I'd set everybody free

I'm not one to believe in magic

Though my memory has a second sight

I'm not one to go pointing my finger

When I radiate more heat than light

Don't ask me, I'm just improvising

My illusion of careless flight

Can't you see my temperature's rising?

I radiate more heat than light

Don't ask me, I'm just sympathizing

My illusion's a harmless flight

Can't you see my temperature's rising?

I radiate more heat than light

I'm not one to believe in magic

But I sometimes have a second sight

I'm not one with a sense of proportion

When my heart still changes overnight

I'm not one to believe in magic, but I could wave my magic wand

Though my memory has a second sight

I'm makin' it feel alright

I'm not one to go pointing my finger

(If I could wave my magic wand)

When I radiate more heat than light

(I'd set everybody free)

I'm not one to believe in magic

But I could wave my magic wand

I'm not one to believe in magic
