The Magician

One trip to Amsterdam Four trips around the sun Has it really been that long Since your name was on my tongue? Down at the grocery mart I pray I see your mom 'Cause if I could get back to the place The place where you came from Think I could bring you back Body and soul intact You be the bird behind the drapes I'll be the magician I'll be the magician The magician I'll be the magician You be the bird, I'll be the magician Get to the gig on time And play all the notes you like I put your full name on the list And I keep the doorman in my sight And I should be used to this I'm not new to loneliness And waking up to find the kitchen In its emptiness Your heart and soul unmatched God, could you spare me half? You be the girl inside the crate I'll be the magician I'll be the magician The magician I'll be the magician You be the bird, I'll be the magician I'll be the magician The magician I'll be the magician You be the bird, I'll be the magician And I would wait all night, glass-eyed By the back door like the way we did Meet me at midnight Crack me up good like the way you did I would wait all night By the back door like the way we did Like the way we did Like the way we did And I would wait all night, glass-eyed By the back door like the way we did (I'll be the magician) Meet me at midnight Crack me up good like the way you did (the magician) I would wait all night By the back door like the way we did (I'll be the magician) Like the way we did (you be the bird) Like the way we did (I'll be the magician) You be the bird, I'll be the You be the bird behind the You be the bird, I'll be the, I'll be the You be the bird, I'll be the magician
