NOTHING IN MY HAT
written by john common and gary brudos

a twenty in my pocket, a fly on the wall
the circus is about to leave town
it's an awful long walk but it's been a long, long time
and something keeps tracking me down

I'm all out of majic. There's nothing in my hat.
I'm all out of majic. There's nothing in my hat.
I'm all out of majic. Ah, what's wrong with that?

the women in this town… they love to be chased
but I don't believe they wanna get caught
'cause if your pockets aint full & the bar's all closed down
they don't even want to hear you talk

I'm all out of majic. There's nothing in my hat.
I'm all out of majic. There's nothing in my hat.
I'm all out of majic. Ah, what's wrong with that?

I saw her at the fairgrounds as the tent came down
the strong man was out smokin' by the truck
we caught the last ride on the old ferris wheel
seemed to prove we had enough luck
oh she moved in. We fought about the bills
I spent a few nights on the couch
it got easier then like a pretty little dream
and the easy's what brought it all down

I'm all out of magic. There's nothing in my hat.
I'm all out of magic. There's nothing in my hat.
I'm all out of magic. Ah, what's wrong with that?

Confession: I like broken shit. I’m just drawn to it. Always have been. I like it even more if it used to be shiny, beautiful, innocent or full of promise. See, the way down is so interesting to me. The way it actually happens, why it happens, the little details that break off as it’s happening. ... more
