Material Magic Lyrics - Singles - Watson Wayne

Wayne Watson 

Pressure's on--I can't slow down 

Got to make it--'fore the best years pass me by 

Up before dawn--building my crown 

In my own eyes it's a noble sacrifice 

I spend my time 

Tryin' to make a little hay 

Before the sun stops shinin' 

Chorus 

Material magic 

Got a spell on me 

One more time 

Pile it high 

Save it up for a rainy day 

For surprises--unexpected tragedy 

Funny thing is 

It can all blow away 

Leave ya broken, Leave ya beggin' 

Down on your knees 

It makes good sense 

Till the walls of my security 

Come crashin' in 

Chorus 

And the checkbooks 

And the credit cards go flyin' 

You can get 'em in the mail 

Before you apply 

Can my limit take the weight of what I'm buyin' 

Good money down on my own slice of the pie 

Are we crazy 

Or just out of control 

That we bow down to what money can buy 

Seems like people will trade in their souls 

For the pleasure--for the ecstasy of the eye 

Does Jesus weep 

That I spend my time collectin' 

What I cannot keep 

I heard him say 

Lay your treasure up 

Where the hands of time 

Cannot decay
