MAGIC

IN A TANK OF WATER
SUSPENDED UPSIDE DOWN
SHACKLED BY THESE CHAINS
TRYING NOT TO DROWN
I'M A MASTER OF ILLUSION
AND A MASTER OF DISGUISE
SO, WHILE I'M UNDERWATER
YOU CAN'T SEE ME CRY
CAN'T SEE ME CRY

FLOATING IN THE SPOTLIGHT
IN A CLOUD OF DRY ICE
I'M LEVITATING ABOVE THE TABLE
IN A TUXEDO SO NEAT AND SO NICE
BUT, AS THE CURTAIN COMES DOWN
I FALL BACK TO THE GROUND
AND, BACKSTAGE IN MY BATHROBE
I HANG MY HEAD AND PACE AROUND
AND PACE AROUND

I CAN SAW A MARRIAGE IN HALF
I CAN MAKE A WIFE DISAPPEAR
BECAUSE THE MAGIC'S ALL GONE
AND LOVE HAS DISAPPEARED IN THIN AIR
NO MORE ACES UP MY SLEEVE
THAT WAS JUST A NASTY OLD HABIT
NOW, WHEN I REACH INTO MY TOP HAT
I'VE RUN OUT OF RABBITS
RUN OUT OF RABBITS

THE SUN COMES UP EVERY MORNING
AND, THE MOON SHINES EVERY NIGHT
I'VE STILL GOT MY HEALTH
AND I CAN GET AROUND ALL RIGHT
FLOWERS BLOOMING IN THE YARD
AND BIRDS ARE SINGING EVERYWHERE
I BUILT A FENCE TO KEEP OUT THE RABBITS
AND THERE'S MAGIC IN THE AIR
MAGIC IN THE AIR
THERE'S MAGIC,
MAGIC IN THE AIR
