Tricks>Some Kind of Magic

“Tricks”

I know the tricks you’re famous for
Take the shabby white rabbit out of your hat
I’m determined to make the final high score
I can also show you this while you don’t see that

Aha!?

Tricks of yours don’t puzzle me no more
We’ve both beaten the legs of a dead horse
I said I wanted out of here, girl
but I can’t find the key to your locked door

I’m not thrilled, I’m not impressed
I know I made a mess of myself
I’ve gambled like a sucker at his gnarly best
All bets off, perhaps I failed the test

You borrowed tricks of mine
to use on your own time
You’re puttin’ on a show downtown
I’m a freshened-up fool with a
flashy new design
waitin’ in line
for the lost lesson I had learned

“Some Kind of Magic”

Getting glimmers
or some kind of magic
Gentle humming
with spared laughs aside
Seeking freedom
or some kind of magic
trapped within
all days of delight
Enriched spirits
or some kind of magic
stuck with this
uncommon Monday miracle
