The Magician

from #2 by Babalong

/

lyrics

The magician is dark
and so his lips have found the blessing of a song
Singing allowed his books tremble
Still insecure he's trying to follow his own lines
His melody is airborne,
the arboretum recognises Orfeo
The magician is present
and we are downloading his excellent rhymes

The magician is recovering
from his state of boredom

He's reading signs on the walls
He's listening to the echo’s of his own mouth
To smack down is a pleasure
He wouldn't have to see the face of his crowd
His cadenza is a horse
A captive creature on a little-used tongue
The magician is dancing
And we are shaken by his prophecy drum

The magician is recovering
from his state of boredom
It's been long since the last one
These are the tones of a landline
He stammers on the phone:
I don't know.
