Magician - Lou Reed

Magician, magician, take me upon your wings and gently roll the clouds away

I'm sorry, so sorry, I have no incantations, only words to help sweep me away I want some magic to sweep me away, I want some magic to sweep me away

I want to count to five, turn around and find myself gone

Fly me through the storm and wake up in the calm

Release me from this body, from this bulk that moves beside me

Let me leave this body far away

I'm sick of looking at me, I hate this painful body

That disease has slowly worn away

Magician take my spirit, inside I'm young and vital

Inside I'm alive, please take me away

So many things to do, it's too early

For my life to be ending, for this body to simply rot away

I want some magic to keep me alive, I want a miracle, I don't want to die

I'm afraid that if I go to sleep, I'll never wake, I'll no longer exist

I'll close my eyes and disappear and float into the mist

Somebody please hear me, my hand can't hold a cup of coffee

My fingers are weak, things just fall away

Inside I'm young and pretty, too many things unfinished

My very breath taken away

Doctor, you're no magician and I am no believer

I need more than faith can give me now

I want to believe in miracles, not just belief in numbers

I need some magic to take me away

I want some magic to sweep me away,

I want some magic to sweep me away

Visit on this starlit night, replace the stars, the moon, the light, the sun's gone

Fly me through the storm and wake up in the calm

I fly right through this storm and I wake up in the calm
