Magic Lies Lyrics - John Cale

Look at that old man with the broken shoes 

He could tell you stories he knows how to lose 

Look at that sweet thing packaged so tight 

She does things her own way, knows the wrong from right 

But there's one big difference now she does anything she wants 

And every night is midnight as they come to take her through the door 

Of suffering as it is her own way out no matter how she feels 

Her day is 

Can you see madame breaking all the rules 

She does things her own way, she's nobody's fool 

Yes, she finds things easier now she does everything she says 

They climb up on her doorstep and rock around the clock tonight 

And rock around again in spite of everything she'd done she is forgotten

He believes in magic, he believes in lies
