Magic from The Diver by Mark Slawinski

6a.m and you're not in
So I'm padding the house we're out of beer we're out of gin again
In a wooden draw, beyond the hall
I could see them gleaming there in shining overalls

If I had a mind to do I'd call you up
But I can't go there, won't go there
I've got everything I need to keep me warm right here
Magic for problems - I know how to stop them

One by one, swallowed, gone...
...and now I'm levitating in through the gates of Babylon
Where ladies bow and all the old men prowl prowl
Through twenty thousand feet of candyfloss and flowers

If I had a mind to do I'd call you up
But I can't go there, won't go there
I've got everything I need to keep me warm tonight
Magic for problems - I think I can stop them

I could vanish, I could fade away like a needle in a bail of hay
Am I evil? I no longer know, sat here waiting for my powers to grow grow
Money money money makes the world go round
Crude oil in every heart
Am I evil? I no longer know...
(Is it living if you never even show?)
