2 The End / King Of Wands

They all flicker like your fading candles
Around your incense clouds in your hand-stitched blouse

Swearing from here to Las Vegas, you’re gonna leave here, you made it
You’re a big broadway star, gonna live out your car
Cause your rent is still due from last May
And your best friend and you parted ways 6 days ago

Spin as you do, across the room in the most dazzling coat of arms
Speak as you do, tongues on a flue
Fire and wands but the magics gone

Spin as you do, singing the blues
They’ll never see the star come apart
Speak as you do, they won’t assume with your invisible magic wand

He’ll go to extremes, convinced he’s supreme
Don’t lift off from the ground, don’t lose your head
Change ain’t a face, built on a frown
The king of wands serves the world
Not his crown, no not his crown

Spin as you do across the room
In the most dazzling coat of arms
Speak as you do, tongues on a flue
Fire and wands but the magics gone

Spin as you do, across the room
They’ll never see the star fall apart
