Damien Jurado - Magic Number lyrics

Don't waste your time, there is work to be done The setting son is a shiny dime Cast it aside, it will soon catch your eye Hold my magic number in your hand Lay across the land like a giant on its side The sun disappears and it falls behind The dust will settle down when darkness takes my crown I'll shake his hand and I'll knock him down You will learn to let go It's my turn to confuse Not long ago, when you showed up at my door Looking for a shelter in my skull When I drew the blinds, the colors in my eyes Went from maroon to shiny gold Speaking in tongues with the tape on rewind My secret name became defined Peeling back the sky in a blanket of shame Remove my nails when you find the time You will learn to let go It's my turn to confuse
