Lyrics Sing Me a Rebel Song - The Magic Numbers

Sing me a rebel song
A song that's gonna save my life tonight
The melody lingers on
And I still hear the sadness in your voice

Well the stop wheels are off
Hell the damage has been done
But you're still throwing punches, damn
I hope you land another one
Is your candor for effect
Or has your zipper come undone
Well I keep thinking sooner or later man
Something might just go wrong
And you smile and you say

"What's the matter with you boy"
Rolled your eyes and turned away
Do you have to be so cruel
Well I'm still trying to find my way out
Of someone else's song

Well it's just the blues and that's okay still
Everybody's talking at me
And I can hear the clock a-tick-tocking louder than before
Oh, so what if I'm lost and so what if I'm lonely, well
What if it's you that just keeps
Reminding me that I'm only just two steps away

From something much bigger than that
Well I go home and I try, try to get to grips with it
But you, your life it just took off
Up the banks of the river with an open mouth
I hear you crying

But you ain't got that magic anymore
And regret will come knocking at your door
You feel bad now, don't you boy
Don't feel bad for me, I hate that

Sing me a rebel song
A song that's gonna save my life tonight
The melody lingers on
And I still hear the sadness in your voice

Sing me a rebel song
A song that's gonna save my life tonight
The melody lingers on
But I still hear the sadness in your voice

With my back against the wall
I hear the darkness call
I thought you had the answer baby
Thought you had the answers to it all

But you ain't got that magic anymore
And regret, it comes knocking at your door

Sing me a rebel song
A song that's gonna save my life tonight
The melody lingers on
But I still hear the sadness in your voice

Sing me a rebel song
A song that's gonna save my life tonight
The melody lingers on
But I still hear the sadness in your voice
