"Feel the Magic "
When the day has come to an end
and tucked away are the dogs and children
the little woman and I cast our gaze to the sky
and thank almighty God for making our lives so special
For I drink only the popular soda when I drink
and I think only the most popular thoughts when I think
May the sweet lord forever keep us safe
and free from trouble
For when you know you're number one
and everything you do is a barrel of fun
a voyage to a dream a ride down a moonbeam
Sinner, are you prepared to renounce the devil?
Feel the Magic Feel the magic Feel the Magic
Feel the power surging, rising, gurgling, flying
higher and higher like a jet fighter clawing into space
An ICBM of sacred holy grace
Whenever you're near my head explodes
Down silver highways and old dirt roads
You had then you have it still
We surrender to your will oh superman
Feel the Magic Feel the magic Feel the Magic
Get the action. thrillin, spilling killing smiling
deeper and deeper the tunnel absorbing the locomotive
Now I know what it means to live
Baby, baby, my hearts on fire
I'm electricty and you're the wire
The one above and one with the land
We obey your every command oh superman
Give us the word and will march
Over deserts over hill and dale
Give us the word and we will die
Death before dishonor never to fail
Bones of the enemy
lie crushed beneath our boots
Mothers provide an endless supply
of new recruits
Give us the word and we will go
through the land of endless snow
and at the bottom of the sea
is a bright and shining opportunity
Whipping even the northern wind
earth yields to our control
Teaching the savages how to live
heart and mind, body and soul
Feel the magic of being on the A team
Feel the magic of being number one
Ain't nobody gonna call you
a freak-a-zoid loser no more
They'll regret those words
by the time you're done
They hurt you I know
So long ago
I was there standing in the shadow
You lost at all the games
They called you bad names
and when you looked for solace
there was nowhere to go
But Booker can help you
he will heal wounds Bring us together
You can get your revenge and light a candle
He will make you strong
and give you the power
you so richly deserve
Daddy didn't love you I know
It's a common enough condition
Momma was so far away
too far for understanding
you know they had a lotta nerve
But here's a chance for you to prove
you're not really a worthless creep
Booker will stand by you ever day
and watch over you even as you sleep
For now there's a whole new generation
Of plugged in dweebs and latch key children
Of pure minds and bodies hale and hearty
Perfect cannon fodder for the new fascist party
Feel the Magic Feel the magic Feel the Magic
Feel the power surging, rising, gurgling, flying
higher and higher like a jet fighter clawing into space
An ICBM of sacred holy grace
Whenever you're near my head explodes
Down silver highways and old dirt roads
You had then you have it still
We surrender to your will oh superman
Feel the Magic Feel the magic Feel the Magic
Get the action. thrillin, spilling killing smiling
deeper and deeper the tunnel absorbing the locomotive
Now I know what it means to live
Baby, baby, my hearts on fire
I'm electricty and you're the wire
The above and one with the land
We obey your every command oh superman
I remember the day
they marched down fifth avenue
Shouting out "hooray"
and thowing ticker tape too
How I wanted to march along
Proud are the men
who are are loved by their wives
And proud do we remain
of they who lay down their lives
Heros of fable and song
and who's that marching along
covered with medals
at the center of the throng
waaring the greatest laurels
but the pride of the palisades
and a wicked hand at snooker
the chicken hawk of the year
Charles W. Booker
Who has contested with many a roast
And orange covered duck most fowl
and vanquished countless desserts
with after dinner brandies that growl?
To do battle with yonder cream puffs
He sets his panting mind and will
Salivating and with great energy
he goes in for the kill
He's the lord of the xerox machine
that gives the hermits a thrill
from the halls of the Dow Jones building
to the shores of Capital Hill
Are told tales of his cunning bravery
and his slick manoeuvres and wiles
he's the soul of selfless humility
when he sits back and smiles
He's been around a long long time
That's what my friend the old crow said
And though he's been connected to many a crime
Somehow he ain't never wound up dead
What draws the weakminded to him
is something inside wlld and feral
For though he be the soul of discretion
you cross this bastard at your peril
We're all waiting on the westbound train
A train that never arrives
Most of us complain about the wind and rain
but Booker is dry and Booker survives
Feel the Magic Feel the magic Feel the Magic
Feel the power surging, rising, gurgling, flying
higher and higher like a jet fighter clawing into space
An ICBM of sacred holy grace
Whenever you're near my head explodes
Down silver highways and old dirt roads
You had then you have it still
We surrender to your will oh superman
Feel the Magic Feel the magic Feel the Magic
Get the action. thrillin, spilling killing smiling
deeper and deeper the tunnel absorbing the locomotive
Now I know what it means to live
Baby, baby, my hearts on fire
I'm electricty and you're the wire
The one above and one with the land
We obey your every command oh superman
