Mumbo Jumbo

[Verse 1] You came in talking circles With a grin too big to trust Stole my focus off the table Left me covered in your dust You said a lot of something But it vanished in the air Every word was candy wrapper Pretty till you looked in there [Pre-Chorus] And I kept nodding along Like I knew the plan But your silver-tongue machine Never hit the land [Chorus] Mumbo jumbo, say it plain Mumbo jumbo, one more time All that noise, no name, no frame Mumbo jumbo in my mind Mumbo jumbo, make it land Mumbo jumbo, cut the smoke If you mean it, take my hand If you don't, then let it go [Verse 2] You brought five different reasons For the one same missing thing Like a pocket full of feathers Trying hard to call it wings I was leaning in too close To the magic of your scheme Then the whole thing folded over Just a paper-bag dream [Pre-Chorus] And I kept nodding along Like I knew the plan But your silver-tongue machine Never hit the land [Chorus] Mumbo jumbo, say it plain Mumbo jumbo, one more time All that noise, no name, no frame Mumbo jumbo in my mind Mumbo jumbo, make it land Mumbo jumbo, cut the smoke If you mean it, take my hand If you don't, then let it go [Bridge] Talk straight now Right to my face No more glitter No more haze If it's real It can stay If it's just noise Fade away [Final Chorus] Mumbo jumbo, say it plain Mumbo jumbo, one more time All that noise, no name, no frame Mumbo jumbo in my mind Mumbo jumbo, make it land Mumbo jumbo, cut the smoke If you mean it, take my hand If you don't, then let it go
