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

'Cause now that I believe in magic

I believe in your lips

I believe things coming away

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

'Cause now that I believe in magic

I believe in forces

I believe in magic

I believe in your lips

I believe things coming away

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
