about

This track was written in 2010. A demo was recorded by Spider Poets but we never put out another album. It became a fun live favorite at my solo shows so here it is.
My friend the late great Dave Cloud loved this song and we intended for him to sing the first verse so I dedicate this song to him and his magic band The Gospel Of Power.

lyrics

Magic Band


I can’t seem to get a break around town

I just get that run around

Maybe it’s because I smoke dope all day

Maybe it’s because I’m old and grey



They’re picking up broken dreamers 

Behind the club in Tootsies’ ally downtown

Everyone’s coming from another land

Thinking they’re the next magic band

The cable cut off when the heat kicked in

So I turned the stove on and the furnace off

Got my internet connection when the lights went dim

but my server went down now my mind’s gone soft



They’re picking up broken dreamers

Behind the club in Tootsies’ ally downtown

Everyone’s coming from another land

Thinking they’re the next magic band



Save another nickel, save another dime

Take a shot of whisky and try to find a rhyme

Try to make a dollar, grab yourself a girl

Take a hit of grass and try to write a line



They’re picking up broken dreamers 

Behind the club in Tootsies’ ally downtown

Everyone’s coming from another land

Thinking they’re the next magic band
