Presto Lyrics


If I could wave my magic wandI am made from the dust of the stars
And the oceans flow in my veins
Here I hide in the heart of the city
Like a stranger coming out of the rainThe evening plane rises up from the runway
Over constellations of light
I look down into a million houses
And wonder what you're doing tonightIf I could wave my magic wand
I'd make everything all rightI'm not one to believe in magic
But I sometimes have a second sight
I'm not one with a sense of proportion
When my heart still changes overnightI had a dream of a winter garden
A midnight rendezvous
Silver, blue and frozen silence
What a fool I was for youI had a dream of the open water
I was swimming away out to sea
So deep I could never touch bottom
What a fool I used to beIf I could wave my magic wand
I'd set everybody freeI'm not one to believe in magic

Though my memory has a second sight
I'm not one to go pointing my finger
When I radiate more heat than lightDon't ask me, I'm just improvising
My illusion of careless flight
Can't you see my temperature rising?
I radiate more heat than lightDon't ask me, I'm just sympathizing
My illusion's a harmless flight
Can't you see my temperature rising?
I radiate more heat than lightI'm not one to believe in magic
But I sometimes have a second sight
I'm not one with a sense of proportion
When my heart still changes overnightI'm not one to believe in magic
(If I could wave my magic wand)
Though my memory has a second sight
(I'd make everything alright)I'm not one to go pointing my finger
(If I could wave my magic wand)
When I radiate more heat than light
(I'd set everybody free)I'm not one to believe in magic
(If I could wave my magic wand)
I'm not one to believe in magic

Brendel was born in Vízmberk, Czechoslovakia, now Loučná nad Desnou Czech Republic, to a non-musical family. They moved to Zagreb when Brendel was six, and later to Graz, where they lived during World War II, towards the end of which the 14 year old Brendel was sent to Yugoslavia to dig trenches. However, he caught frostbite and was taken to hospital.
