The misty rays of morning filter into the room at dawn,
But we don't pay attention; we just shuffle and move along.
I used to go to bed at night and sleep 'til the late morning hours
Oh, I used to have a life back then,
But I play Magic now.
Reds and greens, white, black, and blue are swirling before my eyes.
I'll trade you all my
Atogs for just one card that flies.
I used to play some other games but they've slipped away somehow.
Oh, I used to have a life back then,
But I play Magic now.
Magic was still fresh and new when
Arabian Nights came out
If we'd have known how the price would have grown, we'd have bought that damn store out
And now we pay megabucks a pack as we wipe the sweat off our brow
Oh, I used to have a life back then,
But I play Magic now.
Antiquities was next in line,
Mishra and
Urza's kin
I spent all of my savings, and got a deck full of
clay men
I'd buy some more and save no more; the next day I break vow
Oh, I used to have a life back then,
But I play Magic now.
Legends then had been released, and I'm running to the store.
I pawned my mother's jewelry just to buy fifteen packs more.
A year ago I didn't know a
Craw Wurm from a cow.
Oh, I used to have a life back then,
But I play Magic now.
(Guitar solo verse)
Oh, I used to have a life back then,
But I play Magic now.
My credit cards have been recalled; I'm overdrawn again.
My local game store owner has become my closest friend.
I used to purchase food and clothes. I used to smell the flowers.
Oh, I used to have a life back then,
But I play Magic now.
