Mahni-xan — All About Svengali lyrics

Lyrics

You are so young
so beautiful
I’d like to see what I can pull
right out of you
my Angelus.
So talented
wise for your age
I’d like to put you on the stage
and pull your strings
from behind the wings.
Everybody wants a little piece of the pie
Svengali and motivations will never die.
I love your style
Classy, vintage
Can I just capture your image
and make it mine?
Assembly line.
We’ll give you clothes and lot’s of stature
if you let us manufacture
our own key
to your creativity.
Everybody wants to be original and cool
and ideas only origin only once
you fool.
But then it’s all about Svengali, isn’t it?
It’s not about you.
Keep your focus on Svengali
and now…
just watch what he can do.
(Trombone)
Everybody wants a little piece of the pie
Svengali and motivations will never die
If you are young and talented
it’s time for you to get ahead
or you will see
how it can be.
You got ideas you want to share
but you will find nobody cares unless it’s toward
their own reward.
Svengali takes the credit while you pay him rent
because Svengali doesn’t have his own talent.
But then it’s all about Svengali isn’t it?
It’s not about you.
Keep your focus on Svengali and now
just watch what he can do.
It’s not about you.
Just watch what he can do.
