This song was debuted live in June 2003 and played fairly regularly until its final performance in January 2004. A solo demo for this song was recorded on October 13, 2002 and released in 2004 on the Edison’s Demos LP in two versions – the standard demo, and a version with a makeshift “click track”.
[Verse 1]
The Main Street wizards
How can you see them?
And stand up to them?
And you make out all right?
And do you better
To go and see them
Pretend to be them
It's true
[Chorus]
Can you exchange the past?
Nothing is made to last
Still, they are coming back to you
Still, they are coming back to you
[Verse 2]
The Main Street wizards
Tonight they're thinking
A formal winking
Across from afar
The mood is different
The lights are fading
The knight is waiting
For you
[Chorus]
The most wonderful of tricks
Electricity in their picks
Still they are coming back to you
Still they are coming back to you
[Solo]
[Chorus]
Can you explain the wrath
On everyone's holy path?
Still they are coming back to you
Still they are coming back to you
Still they are coming back to you
Still they are coming back to you
