The Magus

My love, your heart beats like a magus
Only a beat like that could save us
And I do mean save us all
The eyes of many are upon us
And assassins move among us
So be wary on your way
Because men can be animals
Cut-throats and jagged wolves
Keep your wits about you and you'll see
Another day
We'll drink brandy when they're gone now
Dancing to our old time songs now
Don't forget the good old days
Where have all the flowers gone now?
Gone to young girls everyone now
That's the price we'll have to pay
Because men can be animals
Savages and cannibals
Keep your wits about you and you'll see
Another day
My love, your heart is like a magus
Only a beat like that can save us
And I do mean save us all
The ghost of many are upon us
Smoke circles move among us
So be wary on your way
Because men can be animals
Cut-throats and cannibals
Keep your wits about you and you'll see
The cabaret
