Hocus Pocus

Album: Painting With (2016)

  • Well if you're out and about on the freeways this morning, no dinosaurs to worry about

    So many ways to wait beyond the lines that border us from them
    Don't take a shot, a smoke to trigger just a little bit from them

    Can't be a crime to meddle
    Can't be wrong to push the pedal
    Queasy and grime, no balance
    Standing bones don't up the level

    So many times, the prints don't match the brush that painted it (from them)
    Don't take a forge, or wait to dazzle as a conjurer (from them)

    Behind the drape, un-ageing
    Behind aims of rearrangements
    Stuck in the slime, no paddle
    Guarded life, don't tend to dabble

    Legalize this principle
    Jump into our spot not physical
    Bring it closer to the middle, want to write with control
    One step a, what's left but

    Wander from the cynical
    Take a look at this atypical
    With an amplitude for rhythm
    As a tightening will, just when it starts to let go

    Hocus Pocus
    Hocus Pocus
    Hocus Pocus
    Hocus Pocus
    Hocus Pocus
    Hocus Pocus
    Hocus Pocus
    Hocus Pocus

    So many ways
    Can't be a crime
    Behind the drape

    Wander from the cynical
    Take a look at this atypical
    With an answer to the riddle
    As the tightening grip, just when it starts to let go

    Jump into a spot not physical
    Bring it closer to the middle
    Want to write with control
    A slipping grip has let go

    Hocus Pocus
    Hocus Pocus
    Hocus Pocus
    Hocus Pocus
    Hocus Pocus
    Hocus Pocus
    Hocus Pocus
