Now won't you listen to the word wizard,
|
Watch him open up his gizzard,
|
Every secret he has he's only told the world so far.
|
|
Don't you think that boy would be embarrassed,
|
Find himself hassled or some what harassed,
|
Cause he shows of his wounds before they turn to scars.
|
|
CHORUS:
|
But when he comes home he brings me stories,
|
He made up especially for me.
|
A little bit of low down, a little bit of glory oh,
|
|
The choice is simple, I can scold him,
|
Give him a smile or simply hold him
|
Somehow it seems, I never ever told him no
|
|
|
Watch him work, he leaves each hartfull,
|
Shovels it out there by the careful.
|
He's so artless it's almost artful as he as he strings them along.
|
|
Takes you down, gets you cryin,
|
Sets you high, gets you flyin.
|
It's not the truth but it's not quite lying,
|
As he sings his song.
|
|
CHORUS
