lyrics

The Spell

The witch’s spell crosses the sea
Rides the wind
Searches the city streets (the city)

You hide among the friends you’ve made
Keep the past buried
Beneath your feet (beneath)

Try to forget the things you’ve done
Try to turn the past around
Those you’ve harried cannot forget
For you made sure they would go down

You’ve done the rock
You’ve done the jazz
Tangoed your way into the upper crust (the crust)

But now it seems you’ve skipped a beat
The wind has turned
Your ship around (aground)

As the forces keep on closing
You fight to conceal the truth
It is hard to hide the carnage
Played at the hands of a fool

You could have – stayed away
When you – had the chance
But you – chose to play with fire
So now you must face the day

You could have – danced around
Made us – roll with laughter
Instead you – pulled the trigger
Our blood is on your fingers

Someone’s standing at your door
High on style
In black from head to toes (head to toes)

Concerning some matters he says
The time has come
To get right to the core (and more)

You’re looking for a smooth escape
But your feet are glued to the ground
You’ve bought yourself a one-way fare
Stay the course, stick to the plan

You could have – stayed away
When you – had the chance
But you – chose to play with fire
So now you must face the day
