Simon the Magician

by Sailing Tomatoes

supported by

BoneWalker thumbnail
BoneWalker One of the finest greek indie rock bands! Simon the Magician follows the style of previous album, Dive, with some excellent bitter-sweet melodies and the distinctive, mostly expressive voice of Mr Rooster. For fans of the sound of The Decemberists or even messed-up americana style. Favorite track: The Parade.

I can see 02:35
Losing your light again Losing the fight Looking allright my friend Burning inside I can see Changing the tone again Feeling alone Losing yourself my friend Purpose is gone I can see

The Parade 03:42
Nothing’s changing at the kingdom of dull I don’t know what you’ve been told I seen you down the road of no return Take me to your secret place show me now your battle face I need you but I’m never going there Chorus: Cause night is falling and the light is gone Broken hearts, broken bones There’s blood all over me, all over you The end is coming and it’s coming fast, Broken bones, broken hearts Your lies mean nothing now, They’re coming for you All is mine when all is yours I don’t think we ever had a choice All we ever wanted was to burn Take me , take me down below I don’t know to whom you’ve been sold I need you, but I’m never coming home

Don't look at this man He’s not like you He’s out of this world Dressed in rugs, He stinks of wine He sleeps out in the cold Maybe once he was just like you But not anymore Maybe once he was trying too Then he got sick of the lies And decided to not care anymore And every time you look away he finds a way Every time I look away he finds the way around it Every time we look away he finds a way Every time that he gets Hit by the rain And blinded by the city lights Don't look at this girl She’s not like you She’s out of this world Raging tones in her troubled head She gets out of control Maybe once she was just like you But not anymore Maybe once she was someone new Now she hangs out with cats And she’s laughing at our miserable lifes And every time you look away she finds a way Every time I look away she finds the way around it Every time we look away she finds a way Every time that she gets Hit by the rain And blinded by the city lights And every time I look away they find a way Every time you look away they find the way around it Every time we look away they find a way Every time that they get Hit by the rain And blinded by the city lights

Surprise 04:21
The light was dancing with the shadows you were thinking of the word “disappear” Your mind was going really slow you were looking at the water Before the answers and confessions and the darkness of the world took you down I saw you dancing on your own Saw you dancing through your window Ooh, what a wonderful surprise for you Ooh, what a wonderful surprise The air was heavy and polluted, you were thinking of the word “terminate” For a moment time went still you were looking at the fire Before the knowledge and affections and the rush of human kind ate your soul I saw you dancing on your own Saw you dancing through your window Ooh, what a wonderful surprise for you Ooh, what a wonderful surprise

I see the lies behind your broken wicked smile I feel the symptoms of denial Forget them lessons you’ve been taking all your life You claim you’re fighting for survival I know, this darkness doesn’t get you straight away I know, it slowly eats your heart I know, sometimes it’s not so useful to explain I know, sometimes you don’t mean right Chorus: And I see you , with a bucket in your hands It’s filled with gold, you’re dressed in feathers Yeah, I see you, with a hatchet on your mind I’ve learned your ways, now I know better The very time you’ll be forgiven by the Law The very time you’ll be mistaken My only chance to be forgotten by them all My only plan to stay forshaken I know, this darkness doesn’t get you straight away I know, it slowly eats your mind I know, sometimes it’s not so useful to explain I know, sometimes we don’t mean right

Own time 04:40
Building your own cage Waiting for a change Fighting with the ugliness inside you Hoping for the rain To wash away your pain Find some kind of happiness to save you Watching from a distance At this lonely place Fighting for resistance On your own time Your own time All is going wrong You wish that you were strong Fighting with the emptiness around you Hoping for the sun To help you see the fun Find some kind of happiness to save you Watching from a distance At this lonely place Fighting for resistance On your own time Your own time

He was born in the land of Samaria Around the age of Jesus Christ The son of a merchant and a prostitute But he called himself divine With a million tricks Up his sleeve He goes from town to town And people fear him, and people believe And people start singing Get your hopes up with Simon the Magician He’s the one they call The Great Power of God Get your hopes up with Simon the Magician Last man standing gets the better world Men and women gather from across the empire To watch Simon perform his craft And if there’s anything that you may need Just let him touch you with his magic hands Statues moving, the blind can see People coming back from the dead And Simon signing on his golden throne While the people are singing Get your hopes up with Simon the Magician He’s the one they call The Great Power of God Get your hopes up with Simon the Magician Forget about sin and taste the brave new world Well he slides through the desert like a hurricane and he goes to the city of Rome where people ,seeing his magical ways they worship him, like a god Now Peter is begging his Merciful One to ,fatherly, strike Simon down and Icarus whispers , as he hits the ground “I forgive you father” Get your hopes up with Simon the Magician He’s the one they call The Great Power of God Get your hopes up with Simon the Magician Last man standing gets the better world Get your hopes up with Simon the Magician He’s the one they call The Great Power of God Get your hopes up with Simon the Magician Everyone kneel before the Standing One

Try 04:13
Run Away from all those idle days Say you know, say you’ll never ask again Try, try to understand your role All is yours, it’s waiting for your hands to reach Lost The distance of the world prevails Say you care, say you’ll never look behind Try, try to understand your role All that’s bright is waiting for your eyes to see If you try, the pleasures of the world are yours, Look around grab ‘em with your little hands Takes you there The person to belong is you Say you found, say you’ll never walk away If you try, the treasures of the world are yours, Look around grab ‘em with your little hands Takes you there The person to belong is you Say you found, say you’ll never walk away
