Story Behind the Song
The first thread I found of this song was an
interesting chord progression... I just went on
from there. ~Lesley
Lyrics
The Magic Spell
Everyone’s entitled to an opinion
Wish I knew who’s stolen mine
Everyone but me seems to have a place to go
And it shows
I’m an occupational full-time teenager
Everybody knows it’s so
Out here on my own there ain’t no better place to go
Hell no
Tell me
What’s the bottom line?
What do you need from me this time?
If there’s not much left of me
I’d rather have some dignity this time
I’m an elementary fool
Fell like an elephant for you
Tell me what
Tell me what
Tell me what’s an idiot to do?
Was I always stupid?
Do I know the answer?
If I did, would I ask you?
And of course the punch line is
That you’re a moron too
23 Skidoo
Furthermore
The truth is we’re on Planet Stupid
Stupid-Stupiding along
And if you’ve not noticed that
We’re even further gone,
Everyone
Tell me what color you want your dream?
Everyone is every part of me
As I’m staring out the window wondering who the hell to be
Hope at last it has come true
And I impress the heck out of you
Tell me what
Tell me what
Tell me what’s an idiot to do?
My, my, my, my, my, my, my, my, my, my,
I want some pie
Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey,
Do you really think that I know half a mind of what to say?
Wish I had The Answer
Wish I had The Power
Heck, I’d settle for a clue
I just brush my hair back and saunter into the saloon
They all see a sight
But they know I’m a dead shot
No one has the nerve to move
Go back to what you’re doing
I just want to get drunk too
Wouldn’t you?
Tell me what’s the lowdown deal?
You took away what made me real
So I piece together something from a couple memories of life
I feel such a broken fool
If you don’t know
Well, lucky you
Tell me what
Tell me what
Tell me what was the magic spell?
Tell me what ‘cause you did it so well
What was the magic spell?
