    Lyrics
    Oh oh Pablo
    Take me through your Magic Theater
    Show me the things that I can't see
    Oh oh Pablo
    My life has been so dark for so long
    Show me how bright it can be.

    I woke up last night
    In the middle of a dream
    The more I tried to forget
    The clearer it seemed
    I was standing on a dark street
    In the older part of town
    The cold wind cut through me
    And the rain was coming down

    I stood before a doorway
    Under a neon sign's hum
    It said 'For Madmen Only'
    'Entrance Not for Everyone'

    Inside I met a Latin man
    Pablo was his name
    He said I know who you are
    And I know why you came

    Please, step into my Magic Theater
    And with your life
    I will set the stage
    In this one man play
    You will act out all the scenes
    You'll speak all the lines
    You'll be the lion in the cage.

    Oh oh Pablo
    Play for me a jazzy little tune
    Something to take me from this
    Suicidal Gloom
    Oh oh Pablo
    Please don't send me home to my room
    To my razor, revolver and opium I'm due.

    He led me down a hallway
    Lined with a thousand doors
    Behind each one a different part
    Of my life to explore

    I was shown things I'd forgotten
    Some I wanted to forget
    What I thought were old man's eyes
    Have seen what hasn't happened yet

    I met again the loves I'd lost
    And those that I had kissed
    Then my wasted youth struck me down
    With a heavy velvet fist

    Oh oh Pablo
    Send to me Maria
    That tasty little thing
    Taught me to kiss
    Oh oh Pablo
    Send her to the poet
    In my dreams
    To remind me of all the
    Loves I've missed

    I wil never forget the Magic Theater
    Oh Maria, oh what a dream
    How fortunate for me
    To have met Pablo when I did
    Timing is more than everything

    The reward to an angel
    Is the height from which it sees
    All the wingless wonders
    That crawl upon their knees

    From this day forward
    As I walk this winding path
    As senseless as this life may seem
    I will learn to live and laugh
    Learn to live and laugh
