Lyrics for Camilo (The Magician) as interpreted by Kelp12

Camilo (The Magician) Lyrics
Honestly
I know you like to keep a mystery
But there's this girl I know who's sad, you see
And I'd like to show her life ain't always real
Camilo that's where you come in my friend
Show me your secrets show me all of them
I promise I won't say a word again
And as long as I'm alive I'll be the best that I can be

Ca-Ca-Ca-Camilo
I need to see where you made that card go
'Cause I've got some questions about the world I know
And about the difference between real and show,
Camilo...

Watch my eyes
Put a coin in your hand now and squeeze real tight
I'll make both sides heads so when you decide
You'll have complete control of your whole life
Camilo that's where you come in
Be my assistant, be my right hand man
We'll find a place between fact and fiction
And as long as they don't know we'll be the masters of pretend

Caroline,
I saw your disbelief
You're mystified
Understandably
Well so am I
So let's make like enemies and disappear

I heard this song for the first time the other week and I was hooked at first listen. It's catchy and different.

"Put a coin in your hand now and squeeze real tight
I'll make both sides heads so when you decide

What a lovely thought. Reminds me of a passage in The History of Love by Nicole Krauss:
"For her I changed pebbles into diamonds, shoes into mirrors, I changed glass into water, I gave her wings and pulled birds from her ears and in her pockets she found the feathers, I asked a pear to become a pineapple, a pineapple to become a lightbulb, a lightbulb to become the moon, and the moon to become a coin I flipped for her love, both sides were heads: I knew I couldn't lose."
Lovely book, lovely song, life's good. :)

Beautiful song that I heard for the first time today.

Its pretty much about caring for a girl so much that you'd go to ridiculous extents to make her feel better, including helping her escape from reality to a place far less serious for a little while. What could do that better than magic tricks? lol. At least that is how I saw the song.

The singer speaks of two people, Camilo and Caroline, right? Is he not communicating with Camilo, perhaps getting advice or sharing with him about Caroline?
