Magic - Jon Fratelli

Say what you want but I guess I had it coming
Sold me a dream and a lie that kept me running
Out of the fire into the soulless heart of the city
Screaming out for justice
I was the lover that she never wanted
She was the headache that I never needed
Born in the city summer nights in wonder
Lost in the glory then she turned me over
Here's to the magic here's to the blindness
Here's to the mayhem trail left behind us
I no one's hero she no one's princess
Danced like a fire burning in the darkness
I saw the end before the beginning
Magic and mayhem love kept us spinning
My finest hour her longest nightmare
Days turned to minutes luck strung me out there
Locked in the silence thrown out in the thunder
Drowned in the lust and defeated in the wonder
I took what I could nobody could fault me
Bastards and thieves done everything to warn me
She took my wits and all that she could carry
Stole half my voice and locked it where I don't see
Here's to the moment here's to the worst night
Here's to the broken electric moonlight
She was the punch line I was the bad joke
Under the stars her thick promises broke
I saw the end before the beginning
Magic and mayhem just keeps on winning
Restlessly helplessly stranded where I used to be
Our nights had changed drowned in fire
Frozen with a fools desire
Say something say something say what you want
But it's all crashing down on me
Here's to the magic here's to the blindness
Here'e to the mayhem trail left behind us
I no one's hero she no one's princess
Danced like a fire burning in the darkness
I saw the end before the beginning
Magic and mayhem just keeps on winning
Once imitated never forgotten
Restlessly fated and mis begotten
Here's to the moment here's to the worst night
Here's to the broken electric moonlight
I no one's hero she no one's princess
Danced like a fire burning in the darkness
I saw the end before the beginning
Magic and mayhem love kept us spinning
