Lyrics
Magic Shop
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
C'è chi parte con un raga della sera
e finisce per cantare "la Paloma".
E giorni di digiuno e di silenzio
per fare i cori nelle messe tipo Amanda Lear
vuoi vedere che l'Età dell'Oro
era appena l'ombra di Wall Street?
La Falce non fa più pensare al grano
il grano invece fa pensare ai soldi.
E più si cresce e più mestieri nuovi
gli artisti pop, i manifesti ai muri
i Mantra e gli Hare Hare a mille lire
l'Esoterismo di René Guénon.
Una Signora vende corpi astrali
i Budda vanno sopra i comodini
deduco da una frase del Vangelo
che è meglio un imbianchino di Le Corbusier.
Eterna è tutta l'arte dei Musei
carine le Piramidi d'Egitto
un po' naifs i Lama tibetani
lucidi e geniali i giornalisti.
Supermercati coi reparti sacri che vendono
gli incensi di Dior
rubriche aperte sui peli del Papa.
