Black Magic Songtext

von Jarvis Cocker

I woke up in the morning and all the bells were ringing.
My eyes could see the Glory, baby -
Could here the song they're singing.
You only get to see the Light just one time in your life.
Oh, Black Magic that blows your mind away,
Takes you somewhere that you wanna stay:
You only get to stay one day.
That cold Black Magic.

Is there anything more wretched that to just have caught one sight?
The eyes that saw the Glory have been blinded by the light.
And it's true believers that crash and burn
But there ain't no way I'm ever gonna learn.
Black Magic that blows your mind away,
Takes you somewhere that you wanna stay:
You only get to stay one day.
That cold Black Magic.

We can't escape; we're born to die.
But I'm gonna give it a real good try
Because nothing comes close and nothing can compare
To Black Magic - Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Black Magic - Yeah, yeah, yeah.
