They told me the streets were all paved with gold
But these dirty sidewalks are gray and concrete cold
They said neon lights were all beautiful sights
But how 'bout the one blinkin' in my room all night? (My room all night?)
And 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 damn if I live or die (if I live or die)
And 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
You
You
You
And 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'm gonna find it, girl, if it can be found
Before I bring you to
This magic town
This magic town
This magic town
