Work a Miracle

 

You said you were powerful

You could have anyone you wanted

You could have anything you wanted

All you had to do was lift a finger and they would dance

Pull the strings and the puppets would awaken

Strut your bat and they would flip

Blow your magic dust and they would follow

Cast your spell and they would sing

 

So now I ask you

 

Where is that seductive spirit?

Bring out that divine prowess

Let’s see that irresistible charm

Bring out that indestructible magic

 

Work a miracle

Make me want you

 

For this time

I am immensely prepared

I have got my mask on

I am immune to your charms

I am safe from your magic

 

I have fought my battles

I have faced my demons

I have made my bed

I have built my castles

I have woven my nest

 

And it’s warm and comfy

It’s beautiful and shiny

It’s so sweet and tasty

 

I look at you and see cold steel

When I see you I see dry lumber

Hardened over time

Cold and sore

I can see straight through you now

 

Not like in the old days

How you had me then

How could a puppeteer do without a puppet?

 

Patenting the carpet

Silencing the puppet

Current tappet

Latent droplets

Hamlet comments

 

Lament

Torment

 

Work a miracle

Make me want you
