Lyrics Totem - Stephen Duffy, Nigel Kennedy

Totem

A cardboard crown, a silver star upon a stick
The wizard’s hat turns childhoods' trick
And what we lose like fading footage of a reel
Amounts to what we’re prepared to feel
And she wants to share her magic with me
But I feel like a thief
She wants to go to church on Sunday
And sing in disbelief
She wants to share her magic with me
And see what we conceive
The arcane lines of her confession
Make it hard for me to breathe
The diamonds flash on her fingers, in her hair
As she supports her starry head drooped in despair
She knew the truth before she knew it to be true
Her calls are placed, she’s waiting to get through
A spectral sound searches through the zodiac
She’s radiant — an illuminating beam of light
Get up late, she looks like Scorpio herself
Euphoria, didn’t know I needed her so much
