lyrics

Sorry I can’t make it but this
Evening’s looking kinda grim
I’m turning off the radio
The narrative’s been stolen again

It’s cruel and cold
And over far too soon
So meanwhile be bold
The only way to out is through

If that’s the way you feel
Then I won’t come around anymore
You don’t have to worry about my ghost
Knocking at your door

Some may say
We’re better off this way
But I’m not so sure
It used to work but not anymore

Everything you thought you knew was wrong
Don’t get comfortable you won’t be there for long
Everything you want to hear is true
Is magical thinking the best you can do

Everything you want to hear is true
I read the secret three times it told me what to do
Anything you need to feel alive
Cause magical thinking it works every time

It’s been fun but I gotta go away for a while
Gonna dry out in the sun for a bit and try to force a smile
Time is short
And there’s so many things to do
Don’t send the report
I’m sure they’ll know exactly what to do

Everything you wanna hear is true
Just tell me what to think and tell me what to do
Anything you need to feel alive
Cause magical thinking it works every time

It’s a bit of a stretch to call Michelles a band, as it is the singular vision of Michael Daly, who writes and plays nearly every sound heard on every recording. ... more
