Take what you want and throw the rest away
With the best intentions, it happens anyway
It's not what you do or what you say
That wakes you in the morning to greet the brand new day
There's something happening here
Just what it is ain't so clear
The Great Wonder shakin' up the cage
Right now it seems so tragic
But I still believe that magic
Will take hold... safe as houses stay
Take what you need and give the rest away
It's no solution, but it happens everyday
It's not what you do or what you say
That wakes you in the morning to greet the brand new day
There's something happening here
Just what it is ain't so clear
The Great Wonder shakin' up the cage
Right now it seems so tragic
But I still believe that magic
Will take hold... safe as houses stay
I broke down at the heart of the crossroads
Hoodoo, you know, can blow your mind
The second coming of a man in time
Well I tried, so goodbye again
Now I'm livin' on a resurrection
Reborn with a gun in hand
No time for weekend mind
I tried, so goodbye again
Some say that it's a superstition
Ain't no stoppin' ol' Father Time
You make the best of what the maker gives
I tried, so goodbye again
Now I'm livin' on a resurrection
Reborn with a gun in hand
No time for weekend mind
I tried, so goodbye again
