And leave him with a mumble
She says that she would have me
Your love is like a razor
She knows that she's got me
When I start to rave about
My heart is just a scar
Oh, Magdalena
When she gets her tongue in you
Just pay your dues and lose your blues
Oh, Magdalena
Nothing like the saint you are
Well, I can't be forgotten and I can't be ignored
Your love is like a razor
And if you think I'm crazy, babe
She tells me that I couldn't hold
Stealing all my images
Nothing like the saint you are
Nothing like the saint you are
Oh, Magdalena
Nothing like a saint you are
Nothing like the saint you are
My heart is just a scar
And blow the candle out
Spirit her away
Won't you take this little red-haired girl along?
She tells me that she wants me
Your love is like a razor
She laughs not breaking glass
Oh, Magdalena
Oh, Magdalena
Magdalena lying there
Oh, Magdalena
Till there's nothin' left to say
She'll just smile and flash her eyes
Nothing like the saint you are
Make a preacher bite his tongue
A candle to her father
My heart is just a scar
Oh, Magdalena
But if upon your journey, you're returning to L.A.
Then she tells me not to bother
Oh, Magdalena
You find me with my poems and my songs
Or that I'm kiddin' you
Could make a dancer stumble
She talks in splice and splinters
