Magdelena |
| Magdalena sits in her chair |
| Speaking on the mass |
| She talks in splice and splinters |
| She laughs not breaking glass |
| She said that she would have me |
| Spirit her away |
| Stealing all my images |
| Till there’s nothin' left to say |
| Oh, Magdalena |
| Nothing like the saint you are |
| Your love is like a razor |
| My heart is just a scar |
| Oh, Magdalena |
| Nothing like the saint you are |
| She tells me that she wants me |
| Then she tells me not to bother |
| She tells me that I couldn’t hold |
| A candle to her father |
| She knows that she’s got me |
| When I start to rave about |
| She’ll justsmile and flash her eyes |
| And blow the candle out |
| Oh, Magdalena |
| Oh, ho, ho, Magdalena |
| Nothing like the saint you are |
| Magdalena lying there |
| Could make a dancer stumble |
| Make a preacher bite his tongue |
| And leave him with a mumble |
| And if you think I’m crazy babe |
| Or that I’m kiddin' you |
| Just pay your dues and lose your blues |
| When she gets her tongue in you |
| Oh, Magdalena |
| Nothing like the saint you are |
| Your love is like a razor |
| My heart is just a scar |
| Oh, Magdalena |
| Nothing like the saint you are |
| Well, I can’t be forgotten |
| And I can’t be ignored |
| You find me with my poems |
| And my songs |
| But if upon your journey you’re turning to l. |
| a |
| Won’t you take this little red-haired girl aong? |
| Oh, Magdalena |
| Nothing like the saint you are |
| Your love is like a razor |
| My heart is just a scar |
| Oh, Magdalena |
| Nothing like the saint you are |
