The Magic 8
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.
It seems she finally got a taste of fame
Caught a break, and critical acclaim
A glass of champagne, she started feeling safe
The black magic 8
No, it didn't feel the same
And tomorrow's now misunderstood
'Cause it's reading: Outlook not so good
If these signs would point to yes
She could maybe feel the same
So shake the magic 8 until it breaks
And close your eyes and take a leap of faith
Don't be afraid of going your own way
Shake the magic 8 until it breaks
So concentrate and ask again
Are we at the end?
We're starting to begin and mend
Oh, but then is happiness a trend?
A friend, they once said
There's beauty in the pain
And tomorrow's now misunderstood
'Cause it's reading: Outlook not so good
If these signs would point to yes
She could maybe feel the same
So shake the magic 8 until it breaks, breaks, breaks
And close your eyes and take a leap of faith, faith, faith
Don't be afraid of going your own way, way, way
Shake the magic 8 until it
It breaks, it breaks, it breaks
It breaks my heart every time
Losing our rhythm and losing our rhyme
Control your fate, fate, fate
And shake the magic 8 until it breaks
As she wipes her tears, she understands
That somethings are simply out of hand
So she bides her time and counts the sand
And leans into the pain
So shake the magic 8 until it breaks, breaks, breaks
And close your eyes and take a leap of faith, faith, faith
Don't be afraid of going your own way, way, way
Shake the magic 8 until it
It breaks, it breaks, it breaks
It breaks my heart every time
Losing our rhythm and losing our rhyme
Control your fate, fate, fate
And shake the magic 8 until it
It breaks, it breaks, the magic 8 until it breaks
(Heart, time, rhythm, rhyme)
Control your fate, fate, fate
And shake the magic 8 until it breaks
