Magic lyrics

Remember a morning
We dug up your gun
Four rooms in a barrel
A hanging sun

Those first nervous evenings
Of Perfume and gin
They'll all smell on your breath
As I helped you get in

The rush of your lips
The feel of your nails
The beat of your heart
The Devil's Arcade

You said "Here are the needy-
so here it'll get made"
Somebody made a bet
Somebody paid

The cool desert morning

Well the street lights shine
Down on Blessing Avenue
Lovers they walk by
Holding hands two by two

A breeze crosses the porch
Bicycle spokes spin round
Jackets on, Im out the door
Tonight Im gonna burn this town down

And the girls in their summer clothes
In the cool of the evening light
The girls in their summer clothes
Pass me by

Kids rubber ball smacks
Off the gutter neath the lamp light

Pour me a drink Theresa in one of those glasses you dust off
And I'll watch the bones in your back like the stations of the cross
'Round your hair the sun lifts a halo, at your lips a crown of thorns
Whatever the deal's going down, to this one I'm sworn

I'll work for your love dear
I'll work for your love
What others may want for free
I'll work for your love

We took the highway till the road went black
We marked truth or consequences on our map
A voice drifted up from the radio
And I thought of a voice from long ago

Wholl be the last to die for a mistake?
The last to die for a mistake
Whose blood will spill, whose heart will break,
Wholl be the last to die for a mistake?

The kids asleep in the backseat
Were just counting the miles you and me

Last night I stood at your doorstep.
Trying to figure out what went wrong.
You just slipped somethin' into my palm, then you were gone.
I could smell the same deep green of summer.
Above me the same night sky was glowin'.
In the distance I could see the town where I was born.

It's gonna be a long walk home.
Hey pretty darling, don't wait up for me.
Gonna be a long walk home.
A long walk home.

I got a coin in my palm
I can make it disappear
I got a card up my sleeve
Name it and I'll pull it out your ear
I got a rabbit in my hat
If you want to come and see
This is what will be, this is what will be

I got shackles on my wrist
Soon I'll slip 'em and be gone
Chain me in a box in the river
And I'll rise singin' this song
Trust none of what you hear
And less of what you see

I was trying to find my way home,
But all I heard was a drone.
Bouncin' off a satellite
Crushing the last long American night.

This is radio nowhere.
Is there anybody alive out there?
This is radio nowhere.
Is there anybody alive out there?

I was sitting around a dirt dial
Just another lost number in a file.
Been in some kinda dark cove
Just searching for a world with some soul.

Well they built the Titanic to be one of a kind, but many ships have ruled the seas
They built the Eiffel Tower to stand alone, but they could build another if they please
Taj Mahal, the pyramids of Egypt, are unique I suppose
But when they built you, brother, they broke the mold

Now the world is filled with many wonders under the passing sun
