Magic Words

you're off in outer space, i'm here on earth
 on any given day, the order is reversed
 there's no denying all the sadness that's occurred
 lower the landing here, turn on the magic words
 say the magic words
 that i'd love to hear
 catalog the birds
 that are living near your house
 this year
 you're disappearing at my slight of hand
 the curtains closing, and they're striking up the band
 no use recalling the misfortunes we've endured
 bring down the house lights, and bring on the magic words
 say the magic words
 that i'd love to hear
 catalog the birds
 that are living near your house
 this year
 la la las
 say the magic words
 that i'd love to hear
 catalog the birds
 that are living near your house
 say the magic words
 that i'd love to hear
 catalog the birds
 that are living near your house
 this year
