Magnolia, magnolia, innocence got ripped
like a page from a book.
They talk of war, and I’ve heard it before
stealing secrets from the library.
Look at those stars, ain’t that love
Tunnel vision, from above.
Look at those stars, shining bright.
Open the streets, with some morning light.
Fool was I, to let you go,
I heard you’re dancing on that stage of rage.
Take a hand, step away,
shouldn’t be stuck in that same old cage.
Rough reality, oh can’t you see,
they scare you with violence,
wash your brain with fear.
refr.
Divided by chasms, redolent am I,
Zero sum, can we be one.
Analysis, analysis, how could I forsake
this once & future kiss.
Magnolia, magnolia
Short cut season, gone with the sun
ref.
Look at that moon, rising soon,
over that blue lagoon
