The Magician 03:50
I saw you in the crowd You pretty little ingenue You’re the bunny I’ll pull out of the hat The body I’ll saw through I’ll dress you up in feathers Put a python around your neck Sell you to this room full of eyes Show you the secrets of the card deck ‘Cause you make me such a magic man Yeah you make me such a magic man We’ll shuffle through the years Of illusion and sleight of hand Engrave my little trophy Build my perfect brand You’re my secret weapon, baby This time I’ll get it right My name up on the marquee Your pretty face in lights ‘Cause you make me such a magic man Yeah you make me such a magic man You’re a singing decoration A single declaration Of dependence on my powerful hand But now you’ve gotten wise to me And that isn’t what I planned Past all the smoke and mirrors You see me as I really am A broken spell of a man And now you know All the secrets of the magician Yeah you know all the secrets of The magician So I see her in the crowd She’s a pretty little ingenue She’s the bunny I’ll pull out of the hat The body I’ll saw through You know Its just business, babe can’t have you show the years So a few more candles on your cake And I’ll make you disappear Yeah a few more candles on your cake And I’ll make you disappear

Spinning 05:50
Your eyes say let’s begin And don’t worry you won’t feel a thing But the magnets line up right And everything in sight Is spinning And you come to my sea Go to the deepest part with me The Mariana Trench Now we’re both disoriented And spinning In a beautiful kaleidoscope Where tumbling blues and horoscopes Collide But the fine print and blurry rules Stir my mind up in a centrifuge Spinning on and on and on and on And now I wish I didn’t know how good it is to be with you Here in the deep where you keep me wondering why This love is such a subtle beast I want to be true North, But you keep me East Where it’s too shallow So I wash us off the dishes And out of the sheets I watch the water circle the drain As I wash us off of me Should I burn our love out in the tumble dry or will you ever change your mind And stop us spinning Should I let it go in the undertow Should I let it slide In the riptide

See them sniffing around Down the street Like scavenging wolves Picking up the scent of dead meat They’re gonna build a high rise Blocking out your grandmama’s view Flash some dollars in her face As they start to chew And say We were just in the neighborhood Adjusting the neighborhood Just in the neighborhood Adjusting the neighborhood The silence of these lambs is deafening So desensitized to the beckoning Fly fly, Clarise They’re gonna gentrify you right out of your lease And say We were just in the neighborhood Adjusting the neighborhood Just in the neighborhood Adjusting the neighborhood Funny- this is the same place They used to drive through and say Roll the windows up, lock the doors Now they’re picking out tile and wood floors Pack it up if you’re too poor to stay in the neighborhood Just in the neighborhood Adjusting the neighborhood Just in the neighborhood Adjusting the neighborhood Yeah we were just in your neighborhood Adjusting the neighborhood Just in the neighborhood

The wind is strong today Nobody’s outside but the birds of prey They circle gracefully While we stay inside and wait And the word came down that day Them knights had no armor to stand in harm’s way But the king sent them out And his minions are shouting They want it all back to normal today Have we learned anything at all? Are we writing on water or are the the veils gonna fall Have we learned at all Have we learned anything at all So its crossed fingers on washed hands Needle drop on cancelled plans Wait on your government check And just hope for the best And for the lives it’s cost No words can shoulder, no grammar can hold All the prayers and thoughts And apologies for loss just don’t feel like enough Just don’t feel like enough at all Are we writing on water or are the veils gonna fall Have we learned at all Have we learned anything Maybe another Phoenix gonna rise Maybe we’ll feed that good wolf inside Maybe we’ll go back to the garden and thrive Maybe we’ll bloom at exactly the right time Maybe I’ll hold your face in my hands again But until then take this lullaby We may be distant We can still be light Like the old stars We’re all made of We may be distant We can still be wise Like the billion year old stars We’re all made of We may be distant We can still be light Like the old stars we’re all made of We may be distant, baby We can still be light So please keep your light on
