Magic Update

Posted on December 22, 2017October 1, 2023 By Priptona No Comments on Magic Update

After multiple listens to the song, I now think I need to slightly alter the lyrics, so I have updated them, and my lyric art piece, accordingly (and while at it, gave the lyric art piece a subtle improvement…though to be fair, it was pretty perfect as it was) 🙂

Magic
Now I believe in forces
I need the truth
The reason why
Was so amazed
Such a lucky child
And then something died
Like everybody it hurt inside
And I would walk to the city
With my wounded pride
But everybody is too busy
And you’re wondering why
There’s a hole inside
I need a pill not an alibi

Now it’s all coming together
And it breaks like a storm
This is our kind of weather
Now it’s all coming together

Because now that I believe in magic
I believe in your lips
I believe things coming your way
Now I believe in forces
I believe it’s all said
Nothing here can make me sway

And now that I believe in magic
Nothing can confound us
Nothing can explain away
Now I believe in forces
I believe in your steps
Taking me some other way

Lost inhibition
I’d lose my mind
Reality was no friend of mine
So I thought I knew
But everybody’s just kidding you
And I remember when I stumbled on a slippery stone
I was in the jungle and I couldn’t get home
Was in a zoo
Without a single clue

Now it’s all coming together
And it breaks like a storm
This is our kind of weather

Because now that I believe in magic
I believe in forces

I believe in magic
I believe in your lips
I believe things coming your way
Now I believe in forces
I believe it’s all said
Nothing here can make me sway

And now that I believe in magic
Nothing can confound us
Nothing can explain away
Now I believe in forces
I believe in your steps
Taking me some other way

I believe in magic
I believe in forces
(Magic)
(Forces)

I believe in magic
I believe things coming your way
Now I believe in forces

And now that I believe in magic
Nothing can confound us
Nothing can explain away
Now I believe in forces

(End fade)
