Magic Lantern Lyrics

[Verse 1]
When you look inside
My magic lantern
All the world is yet unseen
Try to gaze into
The yellow glowing
To get a reflection of me

[Verse 2]
In a land of make believe and magic
You can be just anything you feel
You think that what you're in is a dream
But know that the lantern is near

[Chorus]
With the magic lantern
Take a trip around the world
With the magic lantern
There's a thousand
Mysteries unfurled
And I know one of them
Oh

[Bridge]
I remember your face
Can't remember the place
Here on our own
Living alone, oh
Chu-chu-du-du
Chu-chu-chu-du
Chu-chu-du-du
Chu-chu-chu-du

[Verse 3]
You can dream that
You're a man of power
Ready to be happy with your gold
Without love your mind is going sour
Money's no good when you're old

[Chorus]
With the magic lantern
You can have the sky above
Yeah, the magic lantern
You'll buy everything but love
Everything but love
