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
