[Verse 1] One trip to Amsterdam 4 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 [Chorus] I'll be the magician A magician I'll be the magician You be the bird I'll be the magician [Verse 2] Get to the gig on time Play all the notes you like I put your full name on the list I keep the doorman in my sight I should bе used to it I'm not new to lonelinеss
And waking up to find the kitchen In its emptiness Your heart and soul unmatched God could you have spared me half You be the girl inside the crate I'll be the magician [Chorus] I'll be the magician A magician I'll be the magician You be the bird I'll be the magician [Bridge] 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 [Chorus] I'll be the magician A magician I'll be the magician You be the bird I'll be the magician You be the bird I'll be the magician You be the bird I'll be the magician
