[Verse 1] Down by the laundromat fence I met a rabbit in a vest He said, “Kid, I lost my crown By the gutter, three doors down” He had a watch with no hands A ticket stub and a plan Said, “I’m late for the moon” Then he laughed at his own doom [Pre-Chorus] I said, “Man, that’s rough” He said, “That’s life” “Same cracked joke Every night” [Chorus] Wow, really? That’s the whole trick? Wow, really? You call that magic? The king wore mud The saints wore smoke Wow, really? We all still joke [Verse 2] Past the bodega cat And the broken plastic mat There’s a girl with a jar of rain Selling luck by the train She told me, “Don’t look sad This town eats what it had” Then she showed me her charm It was a spoon and a scar on her arm [Pre-Chorus] I said, “Girl, that’s tough” She said, “That’s fine” “Even poison Tastes like wine” [Chorus] Wow, really? That’s the whole trick? Wow, really? You call that magic? The king wore mud The saints wore smoke Wow, really? We all still joke [Bridge] At the end of the block There was a door in a tree With a note on the knob Saying, “Leave it to me” I knocked once, then twice No answer came Just a tiny brass laugh And my own name [Chorus] Wow, really? That’s the whole trick? Wow, really? You call that magic? The king wore mud The saints wore smoke Wow, really? We all still joke [Outro] So I tipped my hat To the rabbit’s grin In a world that breaks like glass You still walk in (Wow, really?) (Yeah, really)
