Carl Barât - The Magus lyrics

My love, your heart beats like a magus
Only a beat like that could save us
And I do mean save us all

The eyes of many are upon us
And assassins move among us
So be wary on your way

Because men can be animals
Cut-throats and jagged wolves
Keep your wit's about you and
You'll see another day
We'll drink brandy when they're gone now
Dancing to our old time songs now
Don't forget the good old days
Where have the flowers gone now?
Gone to young girls everyone now
That's the price we'll have to pay

Because men can be animals
Savages and cannibals
Keep your wit's about you and
You'll see another day

My love, your heart is like a magus
Only a beat like that can save us
And I do mean save us all

Because men can be animals
Cut-throats and cannibals
Keep your wit's about you and
You'll see the cabaret
