Matthew Good lyrics

I Once Saw A Magician Cut You In Half


I saw a magician cut you in half so bloodless
Daunted I applauded
Looking around at all there eyeless faces
It crept into me and stood alone
Arms stretched out to nothing
But the memory of something -- gone wrong
Slipped the darkness down to the harbour
Hear your star dress burning the water [??]
Forget your promise
Turn out your light
Lay down and sleep tonight
Dream of your sons
Dream of your daughters
Come back to you
