Lyrics

[00:00.953] Written by Lou Reed
[00:22.635] Magician, magician take me upon your wings
[00:31.830] And gently roll the clouds away
[00:44.317] I'm sorry, so sorry; I have no incantations
[00:56.020] Only words to help sweep me away
[01:05.319] I want some magic to sweep me away
[01:10.517] I want some magic to sweep me away
[01:14.540] I want to count to five
[01:17.910] Turn around and find myself gone
[01:25.277] Fly me through the storm
[01:27.758] And wake up in the calm
[01:36.535] Release me from this body
[01:42.256] From this bulk that moves beside me
[01:47.873] Let me leave this body far away
[01:58.426] I'm sick of looking at me
[02:04.042] I hate this painful body
[02:09.528] That disease has slowly worn away
[02:19.507] Magician, take my spirit
[02:25.646] Inside I'm young and vital
[02:29.590] Inside I'm alive; please take me away
[02:40.901] So many things to do; it's too early
[02:47.406] For my life to be ending
[02:52.944] For this body to simply rot away
[03:01.799] I want some magic to keep me alive
[03:06.762] I want a miracle; I don't want to die
[03:11.229] I'm afraid that if I go to sleep I'll never wake
[03:14.860] I'll no longer exist
[03:21.104] I'll close my eyes and disappear
[03:23.507] And float into the mist
[04:14.367] Somebody, please hear me
[04:19.644] My hand can't hold a cup of coffee
[04:23.928] My fingers are weak, things just fall away
[04:35.631] Inside I'm young and pretty
[04:41.561] Too many things unfinished
[04:47.726] My very breath taken away
[04:57.339] Doctor, you're no magician, and I am no believer
[05:07.317] I need more than faith can give me now
[05:18.759] I want to believe in miracles, not just belief in numbers
[05:28.607] I need some magic to take me away
[05:38.299] I want some magic to sweep me away
[05:47.990] Visit on this starlit night
[05:50.420] Replace the stars, the moon, the light; the sun's gone
[05:57.864] Fly me through this storm
[06:00.033] And wake up in the calm
[06:07.660] I fly right through this storm
[06:10.586] And I wake up in the calm
