VERSE 1
MI
here we sit again and tales begin to spin
LA
about the things that we've done and seen
MI
stories of wine glutton and glory
LA
and the occasional altered dreams
MI
appetites for memories grow
LA
as the sunshine begins to fade
MI
cross the hill it's the same old chill
LA
lurking right there in the shade
VERSE 2
just as a child with bright eyes and a smile
laughter was all she knew
mama was away and all papa did was pray
so the wanderlust slowly grew
she spread her wings and a couple other things
for the medicine man downtown
with his bottle of elixir he said that he'd fix her
and soon she was going down
(chorus)
SOL SOL# LA DO DO# RE
and everything begins to look the same
SOL SOL# LA DO DO# RE
feel the burn from the same old evil flame
SOL SOL# LA DO DO# RE
we watched her fall from sweet and kind
RE DO SOL SOL# LA
and i wish she could come back sweet magdeline
VERSE 3
she was gone on a bad trip followed by a needle and a silver spoon
mama sat and cried and papa told us lies said she'd be back real soon
suddenly the seasons changed from the fall back to the spring
answers live like peasants here when the questions reign as king
(chorus)
(2nd verse)
(chorus)
