I met a magic man Who had a daughter She learned her lessons well But still I taught her She followed willingly As lambs to slaughter We shared forbidden fruit And things I brought her
You may say I'm a miracle man again Here I come with my mystical plan again I know you think I can I'm just a man
I don't walk on water (Oh no) I don't walk on water (Oh no)
I followed willingly Her sweet temptation She had me hypnotized But still I'm waiting My drowned and buried dreams? (My dromedary dreams?) As wet as oceans We set the bearing seas? (With sand dunes bearing seeds?) She set emotion? (She set in motion?)
You may say I'm a cynical charlatan There I go with my whimsical ways again Although you think I can I'm just a man
That I don't walk on water (Oh no) I don't walk on water (Oh no) I don't walk on water (Oh no) I don't walk on water (Oh no)
(Here's two options for the bridge. Not at all sure which one's right, his voice is all messed up) I- The light is guiding eyes As I look in on you And the light is getting shorter I suppose I'm you
II- Kaleidoscopial eyes As you look in the mirror And the long is getting shorter As the far is now nearer
Are you just a mirror Standing in front of me In my mind? (Am I blind?) Can my eyes really see
