He asked me if I have plans tonight
How do I tell him I'm on the I-95?
Windows down
Sky almost as blue as my thoughts
Out looking for myself again tonight in Magic City (Magic City)
I was seven when I first came here
Rubbing my eyes, nervously clutching
That second-hand doll I got from the Tianguis at the border (Fuck yeah)
Tired after that four-day journey
The city opened her arms to me
Said maybe I didn't belong to nowhere, maybe I could belong here
You don't think I forgot a piece of me in the country wе left?
I was fourteen when I put on my first pair of heels
Stumbled likе Bambi onto the stage and sang
You don't think that little girl got left behind then and there?
I'm twenty-seven now
You don't think I come crawling back to the cities in 97-degree embrace
Battered, shattered from this journey? (Ah, ah)
Long, thick black hair
Turned white from flying too close to the sun
How many times do you think I've gone out looking for myself
In the orange hue of the street lights (Ah)
In the eyes of my sister (Ah)
In the baby blue of this sky?
Trying again (Again, again)
To find that place in me that is indestructible
I'm out looking for myself again tonight in Magic City
I'll be home in the morning
C,XOXO
