lyrics

She was...carried along.
She knew it might be wrong
To be so taken in - but then -
The magic begins.

The pull - the lure -
We are unsure
Exactly what's going on....
It's magic...

Magic.
Can we see the joins?
Can we feel the transformation?
Or...Are we that absorbed....
To be so taken in...
That nothing can begin to spoil it?

It takes toil...
It takes practice...
To perfect such wonderment.

Watch...watch...again and again.
Then again and again.
Then watch again and again.
You will never begin to grasp
Or understand it.
It's like nothing you have seen before.
Nothing you've been shown before.
It was fate that brought you here....
Don't disappear....
Just stay near....It will all become clearer
In the end.

This is not rabbit from a hat stuff....
Not squeaky balloon become cat stuff....
This is REAL magic.

The pull - the lure -
We are unsure
Exactly what's going on.
It's magic....magic....it's magic.

The pull - the lure -
We've opened the door
And now we are unsure
Exactly where we are
Or exactly who we might be.
Cos it's magic....
Cos it's only magic.

I've no idea who brought me here...
I've no idea if I'll disappear....
I don't know what to say or do...
I can't explain what I'm going through.
I've never been turned like this before...
It's a different world behind this door.
I'm feeling like...
I'm feeling like...
I'm feeling like...
I'm feeling like it's magic.
I'm fee fee feeling like it's...
Magic...magic...magic.
I'm feeling like...
Feeling like I'm filled with magic.

Now....through another door....
What's in store?
There must be more....
It's so strange through this door...
It's all dark....
So dark...and slides from reality.
Take a step....
What can we see?
What IS that?
Is it a shape?
A human shape?
A human form....being born?
Growing into a human form?
But..but wait...
Now beginning to dissolve....
And disappear.

Firstly the feet then to the knees.
Then higher and higher and past the thighs.
It doesn't matter how you squint your eyes -
They're no longer there.
Then...little by little and bit by bit...
From the bottom of the spine to the ribby bits.
Now down from the shoulders and to the wrists...
They all disappear.

Collar bones rattle and with a twist...
The neck is the next to be dismissed.
Only the floating head remains
Until it begins to slowly fade.
And the burning eyes shine brightly...
With flecks of yellow lightening.
Then all of a sudden with a flash of blue
They too have disappeared from view.
It all has disappeared from you...
It's magic - magic -magic - magic for you.

There's a glow in the dark.
Something is appearing...
Something.
Sinews and skin begin to form.
Blood to warm as veins re-form.
There's a floating brain...over there.
There are tangled nerves in the corner.
This...is a pumping heart...
Near the start of the arteries.
Bring together...the bones of the feet.
The lungs....
Together...the toes.
Piece by piece...
Re-constructing the whole...
With a brand new soul.
It's only Magic!
