Never Trust A Spell
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
There was a princess who one day waved a wand
I gained a palace, lost a pond
Right now she's thinking about
The ways things were
Now I'm not mysterious to her
Never trust a spell,
Don't rely on magic or any wishing well
To take away your problems
After everything
The princess loved the frog more before he was a king
Abracadabra
This is no fairy tale or allegory
No, this crap is happening to me
Never trust a spell,
Don't rely on magic or any wishing well
To take away your problems
After everything
The princess loved the frog more before he was a king
Abracadabra
Never trust a spell,
Don't rely on magic or any wishing well
To take away your problems
After everything
The princess loved the frog more before he was a king
Abracadabra

Don't rely on magic or any wishing well
To take away your problems
