Lyrics for Black Magic

I woke up in the morning And all the bells were ringing My eyes could see the glory Baby Could hear 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 And takes you somewhere that you wanna stay You only get to stay one day Oh, that cold black magic Is there anything 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 Ow 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
