Magic & Mayhem - Jon Fratelli

Say what you want but I guess I had it coming

Sold me a dream and a lie that kept me running

Out of the fire into the soulless heart of the city

screaming out for justice

I was the lover that she never wanted

She was the headache that I never needed

Born in the city summer nights in wonder

Lost in the glory then she turned me over

Here’s to the magic here’s to the blindness

Here’s to the mayhem trail left behind us

I no one’s hero, she no one’s princess

Danced like a fire, burning in the darkness

I saw the end before the beginning

Magic and mayhem, love kept us spinning

My finest hour, her longest nightmare,

Days turned to minutes, luck strung me out there

Locked in the silence, thrown out in the thunder,

Drowned in the lust and defeated in the wonder

I took what I could nobody could fault me

Bastards and thieves done everything to warn me

She took my wits and all that she could carry

Stole half my voice and locked it where I don’t see

Here’s to the moment here’s to the worst night

Here’s to the broken electric moonlight

She was the punch line I was the bad joke,

Under the stars her thick promises broke

I saw the end before the beginning,

Magic and mayhem just keeps on winning

Restlessly, helplessly stranded where I used to be

Our nights had changed, drowned in fire

Frozen with a fools desire

Say something, say something, say what you want

But it’s all crashing down on me

Here’s to the magic here’s to the blindness

Here’e to the mayhem trail left behind us

I no one’s hero, she no one’s princess

Danced like a fire, burning in the darkness

I saw the end before the beginning

Magic and mayhem just keeps on winning

Once imitated never forgotten

Restlessly fated and mis begotten

Here’s to the moment here’s to the worst night

Here’s to the broken electric moonlight

I no one’s hero, she no one’s princess

Danced like a fire, burning in the darkness

I saw the end before the beginning,

Magic and mayhem love kept us spinning
