The Elevators - Magic Man Lyrics

In the morning of the new moon
On a new year in the desert's womb
So I've heard the story told
Six one three two four eight
Another three six five is all I have today
Can't find no magic man in the count

Bowing down to the man in black
We placed our faith in a golden calf
Won't be the last time that we fall
Just give us one more chance
To make amends at last and to cleanse our past
It's so damn hard to get things right

But here comes the Magic Man
With his magic books and his magic plans
He's gonna make everything alright
No more war, no more strife
And we'll all dress in black and white
He's everything you'll ever want
'Cause Magic Man killed God

But here comes the Magic Man...

We've been waiting for too many years
For a magic man to assuage our fears
But the blood it always flows
I am the Lord your God
There is no one but me, not here or beyond
Magic Man got nothing on me

So there goes the Magic Man
Take your magic books, take your magic plans
Know that we're gonna be alright
Sometimes dark and sometimes light
It's just the way God metes out life
He's everything we'll ever want
Cause Magic Man can't kill God
