Dreaming of a Genie
[Intro] My thoughts are like Houdini, I’m dancing on this beam, see My heart’s a shrinking teeny, It’s locked inside a box (Oohhhh) In charades, I retreat, meet My mirror’s double cheat sheet, Her secrets I unlock (Abracadabra!) [Chorus] I’m dreaming of a genie, ooh In clouds of smoke, she's gleaming, ooh But she’s always slipping cleanly, ooh Like cards up in my sleeve, ooohhhh (Oohhh) [Verse] The moon is like a stage light, Reflecting off my wand, bright I pull a silk scarf so slight, But she’s never in the hat (Where could she be now?) I conjure flames from fingers, And still her magic lingers She’s there, but then she’s singers I need to know where she’s at (Oohhh) [Prechorus] My hands, they weave the patterns, As I’m watching smoke rings scatter But she’s the missing chapter— The wish I can’t complete (Oohhh) [Chorus] I’m dreaming of a genie, ooh In clouds of smoke, she's gleaming, ooh But she’s always slipping cleanly, ooh Like cards up in my sleeve, ooohhhh (Oohhh) [Bridge] My cards, they shuffle swiftly, But her movements, oh, so shifty She’s hiding in the misty— I feel her close, then far (Can I catch you, or are you just a star?) [Chorus] I’m dreaming of a genie, ooh In clouds of smoke, she's gleaming, ooh But she’s always slipping cleanly, ooh Like cards up in my sleeve, ooohhhh (Oohhh) [Outro] But she’s always just Houdini, A flicker, then where is she I’m left with just my hat, see-- And the spell that broke my heart (One last wish now) (And I’ll find you…) (Alakazam! [Other spells]) [End, short]
