"Magic Mountain" lyrics

"Magic Mountain"

Once the fever subsides
I'll return to the flatlands
A new man, a new man

Playing king, slowing time
Bundled for our rest cure with your X-ray in my locket
Planting seeds, idle hours
Chained to my reflection in the shadow of a mountain

Playing king, playing bride
Blooming in my leisure, slipping hours left uncounted
You and me, and soon ours
Bury me beside you in the shadow of my mountain
