Past the trunk of a ribcage of trees
Past the corpse of a bird and a bee
There's a heart and it longs to believe
Oh my dear, but I fear it's in vain
Might as well throw your spells down the drain
I'll be off on my own once again
Why are we spinning in circles?
When did my feet leave the ground?
Am I under your spell?
Am I under your spell?
I hope so
As the smoke rises up from the drain
And the bones jumps right up from the sink
I can tell this is real
This is real
Oh my dear but I fear it’s in vain
Might as well throw your spells down the drain
I’ll be off on my own once again
Once again
Why are we spinning in circles?
When did my feet leave the ground?
Am I under your spell?
Am I under your spell?
Am I under your spell?
I hope so
Why are we spinning in circles?
When did my feet leave the ground?
Am I under your spell?
Am I under your spell?
Am I under your spell?
I hope so
You say the ocean’s full
That's fine
You drank another potion, but didn’t mind
Do you hear that sound
Do you hear that sound?
Oh I hear church bells ringing
dadeedadala
Why are we spinning in circles?
When did my feet leave the ground?
Am I under your spell?
Am I under your spell?
Am I under your spell?
I hope so
Why are we spinning in circles?
When did my feet leave the ground?
Am I under your spell?
Am I under your spell?
Am I under your spell?
I hope so
I hope so
I hope so
I hope so
I hope so
I hope so

I walked into a coffee shop
The day when all the music stopped
I couldn’t hear the songs that they were playing
‘Cause sitting there across the room
You saw me - and I saw you
And all the world went quiet - like it was praying
You cast a spell and soon I fell, so helpless and so tragic
But suddenly I do believe in magic
There’s nothing that I wouldn’t do
To try to get c-lose to you
To get a smile, a bit of your attention
Well, looks like it all was meant to be
Because you came right up to me
And said hello - right there, I was in heaven
The stars aligned for you and me, oh isn’t it romantic?
Because of you I do believe in magic
No algorithmic dating site
Compares to love that you may find
In places where you least expect or plan it
Oh, love immortal, love divine
For you I’d gladly lay my life
Upon the altar of your sweet devotion
‘Cause it’s hopeless to resist your charms
And I’m helpless when I’m in your arms
And when we kiss it hits - just like a potion
And my love for you will never die, will never fade - how can it?
Because it’s true and I do believe in magic
Because I love you I do believe in magic
In magic
In magic...

Love Witch

Love is like unto a flame
And a flame will only get you burned
Staring at the fire
Of your heart’s desire
You will never learn
You’ll never learn
I’m a Venus of the night
And my life is devoted to your heart
Look into my eyes
Let me hypnotize
Til death do us part
Death do us part
This hex works best when it’s
A full moon rising
Say yes, and let’s begin
Until its course is run
And I confess, that there’s
Not a single use in fighting
Because this Love Witch always gets her fun
So give me all me of your love
And I’ll give you all that you deserve
Just remember this:
There’s no difference ‘tween a kiss
And the end of the world
End of the world
Relax, lay back, and let
My music weave around you
Give in, do-on’t look back
Just lose yourself in time
And all i ask, is that
You let my lovin arms surround you
For when the clock strikes one you will be mine (mwahahaha)
So love me like there’s no tomorrow
And I’ll love you like there’s only today
Because it’s true
And now your time is due
I’ll steal your heart away
Your heart away
I’m a Love Witch
Yeah yeah yeah….

She wears blue lipstick and red eye shadow
Got the devil in her eyes when she smiles
She wears charms dangling round her neck
Black onyx labret
And a bewitching profile
Black magic, black magic baby
I think you put me under your spell
Black magic, black magic babe
You got me wrapped around your pentacle
Soothsayer do I have a prayer
Do you see an ace of cups in the cards?
Black magic black magic baby
I think you put a hex on my heart
I don’t believe in karma, darlin
I don’t believe in transmigration of the soul
I don’t believe in magic crystals
But a little part of me
Stills believes in love
But a little part of me
Still believes in love
She’s got a black cauldron and a book of shadows
Full of potions, sketches, and spells
She digs black metal and the Cocteau Twins
And she sings just like a nightingale
Black magic, black magic baby
I think you put me under your spell
Black magic, black magic babe
You got me wrapped around your pentacle
Soothsayer do I have a prayer
Do you see an ace of cups in the cards?
Black magic black magic baby
I think you put a hex on my heart
I don’t believe in palmistry, no no
I don’t believe our fate is written in the stars above
I don’t believe in tarot cards
But a little part of me
Stills believes in love
But a little part of me
Stills believes in love
mmmm
I think you put me under your spell..

He's a fool and don't I know it
But a fool can have his charms
I'm in love and don't I show it
Like a babe in arms
Love's the same old sad sensation
Lately I've not slept a wink
Since this half-pint imitation
Put me on the blink
I'm wild again, beguiled again
A simpering, whimpering child again
Bewitched, bothered and bewildered - am I
Couldn't sleep and wouldn't sleep
When love came and told me, I shouldn't sleep
Bewitched, bothered and bewildered - am I
Lost my heart, but what of it
He is cold, I agree
He may laugh, but I love it
Although the laugh's on me
I'll sing to him, each spring to him
And long for the day when I'll cling to him
Bewitched, bothered and bewildered - am I
Lost my heart, but what of it
He is cold, I agree
He may laugh, but I love it
Although the laugh's on me
I'll sing to him, each spring to him
And long for the day when I'll cling to him
Bewitched, bothered and bewildered - am I
Bewitched, bothered and bewildered - am I
Am I
