Lyrics
I woke up in the mornin'
And all the bells were ringin'
My eyes could see the glory, baby
Could hear the song they're singin'
You only get to see the light
Just one time in your life
Oh, black magic
That blows your mind away
And takes you somewhere that you wanna stay
You only get to stay one day
Oh, that cold black magic
Is there anythin' more wretched
Than to just have caught one sight?
The eyes that saw the glory have been
Have been blinded by the light
And it's the true believers that crash and burn
But there ain't no way I'm ever gonna learn
Black magic
That blows your mind away
And takes you somewhere that you wanna stay
Oh, you only get to stay one day
Oh, 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
(x10)
