Magic Lantern Lyrics by Borderline

2020

Magic Lantern (M. Russell)

Been hanging out too long
In this town with no stories
No happiness no heartache
Disappointments, glory

Yeah it makes me weary
Guess I’ll lie down on my bed
On my ceiling streetlight falls
Into patterns above my head

Well streetlamp magic lantern
Shine a mystic light on me
Shine my mind into wonder
At everything I see

Geometric playground
Shapes of light and line
Feeling like a child again
If only in my mind

The ladder to the stars
Climbing every rung
Listening to a song of grace
So it may be sung

Well streetlamp magic lantern
Shine a mystic light on me
Shine my mind into wonder
At everything I see
Shine my mind into wonder
At everything I see
