The Magician Songtext
von Dizzy

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
