A late show down in town
Til morning comes around
And after the afterparty
And the show
Pick tricks in this circus consider
The furnace to burn it
Exhibit the feeling you pick
When nurtured in the crib
We closing the curtains
I'm feeling a curse
Down on the mystic river
A gypsy showed me a wizard
Who cut down half the town
But had the cash to give em
He was looking on watching people fighting
The bar lights lost and the chalk starts whitening
The onslaught ensues he starts talking all righteous
Beers still spinning til he grinning in a vice grip
Down on the mystic river
A gypsy showed me a wizard
Who cut down half the town
But had the cash to give em
Twisted in his spell can't tell if he making me sell my soul
Running this town to the ground and he letting us all grow old
Money is magic it's tragic been having us give up our goals
Give up our growth, stuck in this system been put in position to coast
I remember when we used to do the most
Now I'm underwater and it's sink or float
And we float along, drifting through that spiritual pause
A deep breath releases his capture on us
Just for a minute we could be inspired and just
And we float along, drifting through that spiritual song
