In the new age magazine=20

There=92s a hole in the wall

Behind the photograph of Al Capone

He=92s sittin=92 down at city hall

The police they peek through here

And they watch you get dressed in the two-way mirror

But it=92s all in good spirits

And if you close eyes you can=92t help, help but to hear =91em move

This could be the shining hour

Based on all this mad belief

In the money oil and angel powder

In the new age magazine

I propose a toast

To the memory of the horse who carried King Tut and his gold

Into the sun

He collapsed last summer from a heat stroke somewhere in the east=20

village, oh=20

And it kills me to think

That I=92m no longer living

Just looking for excuses to dink

So lift up your glass

And your Ouija board =91cause I=92m fading, fading, fading fast
