Magic & Mayhem

Say what you want but I guess I had it coming Sold me a dream and a lie that kept me running Out of the fire into the soulless heart of the city Screaming out for justice I was the lover that she never wanted She was the headache that I never needed Born in the city summer nights in wonder Lost in the glory then she turned me over Here's to the magic here's to the blindness Here's to the mayhem trail left behind us I no one's hero, she no one's princess Danced like a fire, burning in the darkness I saw the end before the beginning Magic and mayhem, love kept us spinning My finest hour, her longest nightmare, Days turned to minutes, luck strung me out there Locked in the silence, thrown out in the thunder, Drowned in the lust and defeated in the wonder I took what I could nobody could fault me Bastards and thieves done everything to warn me She took my wits and all that she could carry Stole half my voice and locked it where I don't see Here's to the moment here's to the worst night Here's to the broken electric moonlight She was the punch line I was the bad joke, Under the stars her thick promises broke I saw the end before the beginning, Magic and mayhem just keeps on winning Restlessly, helplessly stranded where I used to be Our nights had changed, drowned in fire Frozen with a fools desire Say something, say something, say what you want But it's all crashing down on me Here's to the magic here's to the blindness Here'e to the mayhem trail left behind us I no one's hero, she no one's princess Danced like a fire, burning in the darkness I saw the end before the beginning Magic and mayhem just keeps on winning Once imitated never forgotten Restlessly fated and mis begotten Here's to the moment here's to the worst night Here's to the broken electric moonlight I no one's hero, she no one's princess Danced like a fire, burning in the darkness I saw the end before the beginning, Magic and mayhem love kept us spinning
