The Magician lyrics

The magician dances merrily for me
Her pointy pointy shoes come a gliding across the lino floor
But there's no hint of any superstition, trickery or lies
Still we don't believe in magic and we're not about to try

In she comes singing songs of magic bright and loud
And then she leads me by her sweaty hand
And moves me to the door
She shows me worlds that look outrageous
A bright red colour in the sky
And now the clouds are closing over, must be time to come inside

She warns you haven't kept that magic here at all
But you've arranged the world to turn around you, roundabout it goes
And you've got every gift available and every dream you'd hope to buy
But a gloom still hangs above this place, I can see it in your eyes
The clouds are closing over, must be time to come inside

The magician smiles her pointy face at me
Then disappears into the dusty streets, such a fancy way to leave
She does a triple somersault of love, a wave, a nod goodbye
I'm still trying to work it out you see
I can see it in your eyes
The clouds are closing over, must be time to come inside
