Material Magic Lyrics - Singles - 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' 

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 

Material magic got a spell on me, one more time 

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"
