lyrics

The world of dark magic is a crazy thing.
When the black cat starts to dance and sway.
The years of bad luck seem to melt away,
And a little tiny boy that hides inside of you.
Changes to a red when he was feelin’ blue.

Like a wave that hits the beach and keeps the world in tune.
Like a ray that hits the earth and makes the flowers bloom.
The metronome swings a cycle near and far.
From inches then to feet and then to miles apart.

Your eyes, shrunk inside, keeps you blind, to their lies.
Now you scream, for this seems, a real thing, it’s a dream.

Your mistakes move this way under ladders now blocking your view.
This mixed stray has six ways of keeping your soul from you.
Now grab hold the cabs closed, it’s taking your head on a ride.
This sick trip with quick whips, will take all you have to survive.

This small pill, that once thrilled, broke strong wills, got you killed.
Now you scream, for this seems, a real thing, it’s a dream.
