How does the magic move around you? How does the magic move around you? So come down from the castle, say "The old town looks the same" My father's ghost from '53 The south will rise again How does the magic move around you? The queen of the south frowns upon you Went to see the medium Went to change my name Came back home a better man The south will rise again See I was born and I will die here And the seasons never change Scatter my ashes in the water The gods have smiled, all hail the new queen The south will rise again How does the magic move around you Church bells ring out Sunday morning (No one can quite believe the news) Children's faces betray the second coming It's Sunday morning He was a leading light with his fascism of the day We are angry and we're geting nearer The gods have smiled, all hail the new queen The south will rise again The gods have smiled, all hail the new queen The south will rise again How does the magic move around you?
