The Vogues - Magic Town Lyrics

They told me the streets were all paved with gold
but these dirty sidewalls are grey and concrete cold.
They said neon lights were a beautiful sight
But how 'bout the one blinkin' in my room all night


Hey, where's the magic in this Magic Town?
Where's the good life they said could be found?
where's the magic to make all my big dreams come true?
I gotta find it girl before I send for you.

They said in this town you get rich in no time
but here I am and I'm down to my last dime.
I just don't know why I bother to try
when nobody here gives a hang if I live or die.

Hey, where's the magic in this Magic Town?
Where's the good life they said could be found?
where's the magic to make all my big dreams come true?
I gotta find it girl before I send for you.
I'm gonna find it girl,
if it can be found before I bring you

They told me the streets were all paved with gold
but these dirty sidewalls are grey and concrete cold.
They said neon lights were a beautiful sight
But how 'bout the one blinkin' in my room all night


Hey, where's the magic in this Magic Town?
Where's the good life they said could be found?
where's the magic to make all my big dreams come true?
I gotta find it girl before I send for you.

They said in this town you get rich in no time
but here I am and I'm down to my last dime.
I just don't know why I bother to try
when nobody here gives a hang if I live or die.

Hey, where's the magic in this Magic Town?
Where's the good life they said could be found?
where's the magic to make all my big dreams come true?
I gotta find it girl before I send for you.
I'm gonna find it girl,
if it can be found before I bring you
