Magic Trick

(album: Dog Years - 2021)

Do you wanna see a magic trick?
Keep your eyes on me babe and I'll blow your mind
Well, they told me to be young and slick
And the back of a black car comes with time
Yeah you best go stand in line

When you're past your expiration date
And they look at you like you're some kind of broken toy
Gotta pay the price to catch a break
Before the shine fades away on this polaroid
See I still got fight in me boy

I'll give you what you want
I'll give you what you need
Even if it breaks my back
I'll give you everything

Do you wanna see a magic trick?
I can turn into whatever you want me to be
In the shadow of Los Angeles
I'll paint it gold so you can see what you wanna see
And I'll sell my soul just to make you love me

I'll give you what you want
I'll give you what you need
Even if it breaks my back
I'll give you everything
No you won't believe your eyes

Do you wanna see a magic trick?
If you ask me nice enough I can disappear
See I built this castle brick by brick
But I'd burn it to the ground if it'd make you cheer
You'll have a fresh faced cowboy next year

I'll give you what you want
I'll give you what you need
Even if it breaks my back
I'll give you everything

I'll give you what you want
I'll give you what you need
Even if it breaks my back
I'll give you everything
