Wishing for Magic

from Jupiter Cafe by Thermal And A Quarter

/

lyrics

There’s a hummingbird
Behind the bars of my eyes
Stuck on a sixth floor balcony
Wishing for magic, she flies
When everything’s so grey
Even my washed-out jeans have more to say

What’s up my sleeve
I’m just an ordinary Joe
Waiting for Godot
He’ll be here, tomorrow
When everything’s so grey
Even my washed-out jeans have more to say

It takes my breath away
How we never see
Beyond the cast-iron boundary
Of oxidizing memory
Wish me luck as I open the door
Today is gonna be something more
Or so I always say…

Tell me mister have-not
Barefoot in the park
How do you smile so much
When tomorrow’s so dark
You look at me and say
Brother can you spare a bite just for today

It takes my breath away
How we never see
Beyond the cast-iron boundary
Of oxidizing memory
Wish me luck as I open the door
Today is gonna be something more
Or so I always say…

The colours washing over me
Sometimes I fancy I can see
They’re not the illusions of a wannabe…
