about

A humorous look at all kinds of magic from the vantage point that the greatest magic never comes from fairy god mothers or genies or coins in a fountain, but exists right inside ourselves.

lyrics

The genie in my bottle called it quits
My own fairy godmother said “That’s it!”
My silver lined cloud went up in smoke
And armored knights that shine are such a joke

I clicked my heels three times and still no home
Stuck forever in the Cinderella zone
No magic wands, no sugar and no spice,
No Tinkerbell, just pumpkins and mice

So I’ll gaze in to my crystal ball, separate the truth from lies
Be my own fortune teller, blow my own disguise
Take off my mask that I might see
Invite love in, ask fear to leave
And then cast a spell on my own self
I’ll cast a spell on me

The pearls in my oyster all got stuck
Three coins in the fountain still no luck
All my wishes fell right through the cracks
Along with all the years I can’t get back

So I’ll gaze in to my crystal ball, separate the truth from lies
Be my own fortune teller, blow my own disguise
Take off my mask that I might see
Invite love in, ask fear to leave
And then cast a spell on my own self
I’ll cast a spell on me

There’s a frog in my throat and a leak in my boat
I could silently sink out of sight
But my current fixation is a new incantation
I will speak some magic words and change my life

So I’ll gaze in to my crystal ball, separate the truth from lies
Be my own fortune teller, blow my own disguise
Take off my mask that I might see
Invite love in, ask fear to leave
And then cast a spell on my own self
I’ll cast a spell on me
Add magic to all I perceive
I’ll cast a spell on me
I’ll cast a spell on me
I’ll cast a spell on me
