The Magic Hour

[Verse 1]

You say "the older I get, the better I was"

Truth from a distance, but I still don't measure up

I thought I could handle my words to a good degree

They keep falling out of me like oil spills at the sea

[Pre-Chorus]

Fate won't change

It knows me by name and it calls

It says, "Sell your soul to try understand it all"

[Chorus]

But in the light of the magic hour

Everything just seems to just slow right down

The more I know, The less I know

(In the still dancing)

The more I know, The less I know

(In the still dancing)

Don't know where I go, or if I'm coming home

(In the still dancing)

[Verse 2]

I met a Marlboro Man underground

He had nothing to care about

Yeah the dogs get to the top

I'm beaten up by the world, I gotta say

There's a faded glory written on my face

[Pre-Chorus]

Fate won't change

It knows me by name and it calls

It says, "Sell your soul to try understand it all"

[Chorus]

But in the light of the magic hour

Everything seems to just slow right down

The more I know, The less I know

(In the still dancing)

The more I know, The less I know

(In the still dancing)

Come beat me down, I'm on the ground

(But I'm still dancing)

[Bridge]

Oh!

Try to add it up

But it ends up another game

No, life ain't fair, is it vanity

Crowded streets all treat you the same

Feet don't fail me now

I click my heels three times

(I'm up off the ground)

I lose and I get lost

But I'm underneath the cross

[Pre-Chorus]

Now my fate won't change

It knows me by name and it calls

Will I sell my soul to try understand it all?

[Chorus]

In the light of the magic hour

Everything seems to slow right down

The more I know, The less I know

(In the still, dancing)

The more I know, The less I know

(In the still, dancing)

The more I know, The less I know

(And I'm still dancing)

[Outro]

In the still dancing

(The more I know, The less I know)

In the still dancing

(I gotta go, The feeling's gone)

But, I'm still dancing

(The more I know, The less I know)
