What Have You Done to the Magician

I taste the air in here
I know the stench of fear
Scope out the exits
Get a picture inside my head
Warning signs all flashing red
What have you done to the magician
What have you done to the magician
Here where the half-burnt light bulb shines so dim
What have you done
What have you done to him
You're gone, but you can't be far
Back in the parking lot I've blocked your car
You'll need a tow truck with a flatbed
And some long, strong chains
I'm here on my hands and knees
Trying to scrub out the stains
What have you done to the magician
What have you done to the magician
Here where we roll the dice
And the odds seem grim
What have you done
What have you done to him
Scratch in the concrete
Like a mark on the moon
Think as I look at the evidence
It's gonna be my turn soon
Save my description for the cops
But the cops won't come
Promise myself I won't let myself go numb
You can bare out the metaphor if you like
But you won't like what you see
Do everybody a favor this once
And let the big one run free
What have you done to the magician
What have you done to the magician
Here where the payoff is nothing
And the margins are real, real slim
What have you done
What have you done to him
