From the recording Stray Puppets
Magic Grudge (M. Polacek/ N. Tucker)
Nathan T. played with us a few times and came to me with a simple chord progression on the keyboard. I jacked it, threw in some hideous references to the state of folks living within the fantasy land of a miserable relationship. I also jacked “Bubbles and Fairies” from Misti and voila—a love song!
Lyrics
Magic Grudge
Your screams killing me, and I’m silently bleeding
Holding your voice like a gun to my head
I need a cape, I need protection
As you swing your magic grudge at me
My pain is paint, my face a portrait, a canvas, a killing field for you
I need a bath, whenever I know I'm gonna have to see or talk to you
And I’m bleeding, and I know you’re swing your magical grudge at me
While I’m dreaming, hope beyond hope I can find someone who’s not like you
Our world should be a magical world, with fairies and bubbles across the sky
Our world should be a magical world, a magical world for you and I
Our world should be a magical world, but there’s nothing in our eyes
My dream’s killing you, and it’s obvious to everyone
You’re not who you think you are
My dream is a flag, and it’s high flying
Slapping hard against your wind
My pain is paint, my face a portrait, a canvas, a killing field for you
I swing a bat, whenever I know I'm gonna have to see or talk to you
And I’m bleeding, and I know you’re gonna swing your magical grudge at me
While I’m dreaming, hope beyond hope I can find someone who’s not like you
Our world should be a magical world, with fairies and bubbles across the sky
Our world should be a magical world, a magical world for you and I
Our world should be a magical world, but there’s nothing in our eyes
I want a dream a magical dream just a magical dream of you and I
I want a dance a magical dance, with moon dust dripping from our eyes
I want a life, a magical life in a magical world with just you and I
Our world should be a magical world, but there’s nothing in our eyes
