Magic & Loss Lyrics
The song Magic & Loss is performed by Lou Reed in the album named NYC Man: Lou Reed The Collection in the year 2003 .
When you pa*s through the fire
you pa*s through humble
You pa*s through a maze of self doubt
When you pa*s through humble
the lights can blind you
Some people never figure that out
You pa*s through arrogance you pa*s through hurt
You pa*s through an ever present past
and it's best not to wait for luck to save you
Pa*s through the fire to the light
As you pa*s through the fire
your right hand waving
there are things you have to throw out
That caustic dread inside your head
will never help you out
You have to be very strong
'cause you'll start from zero
over and over again
And as the smoke clears
there's an all consuming fire
lying straight ahead
They say no one person can do it all
but you want to in your head
But you can't be Joyce
so what is left instead
You're stuck with yourself
and a rage that can hurt you
You have to start at the beginning again
And just this moment
This wonderful fire started up again
When you pa*s through humble
when you pa*s through sickly
When you pa*s through
I'm better than you all
When you pa*s through
anger and self deprecation
and have the strength to acknowledge it all
When the past makes you laugh
and you can savor the magic
that let you survive your own war
You find that that fire is pa*sion
and there's a door up ahead not a wall
As you pa*s through fire as you pa*s through fire
trying to remember its name
When you pa*s through fire licking at your lips
you cannot remain the same
And if the building' burning
move towards that door
but don't put the flames out
There's a bit of magic in everything
and then some loss to even
