Plain White Toast - Alter Ego Lyrics

When I was a little boy
I used to play with so many toys
One day while in the woods
An old wrinkled man was peddling his goods
He was very familiar in my eye
I think it was the way he looked to the sky

My alter ego is magic
My alter ego is magic

With little groans from weary bones
He sat by my side took out a piece of hide
Ever so gently he unwrapped this
Putting its contents in his fist
By opening his hand he let out a command
A high pitched cry like a bird in the sky

My alter ego is magic
My alter ego is magic

My life yours too
My life so new
My life so true
My life is so blue

With this cry he flew to the sky
A bird in flight what a sight
Leaving the eye that took him high
I learned the command with eye in hand
To have peace in flight
Is such a delight

My alter ego is magic
My alter ego is magic
