[Instrumental] [Intro] [analog synth lead with resonant filter playing descending four-note motif] [soft synth pad enters with long sustain] [Verse - strutting, slightly spoken-sung] Candlewax and old ink, lightning in my hand Read the books the living can't withstand Dust on my sleeves like a second skin Here he comes — let the dark begin [Chorus - chant-hook, funky stop-time groove] Abracadabra, I'm a wiz, Ya na Storm cloud eyes and a spell-bound tongue Abracadabra, I'm a wiz, ya ya Burning every book till the work is done Abra-bra-cada-da-bra (Abracadabra..) [Verse] Robe full of stars, boots dragged through the flame Every page I turn ain't ever quite the same Talk to the ghosts in the margins of the page The book stays open — so does the cage [Chorus] Abracadabra, I'm a wiz, Ya na Storm cloud eyes and a spell-bound tongue Abracadabra, I'm a wiz, ya ya Burning every book till the work is done Abra-bra-cada-da-bra (Abracadabra..) [Bridge - drop to a groove break, half-spoken] Smoke and candlelight — dust and bone Every secret kept is a secret known He don't need your crowd, he don't need your light Got a thousand years of magic burning through the night [Instrumental solo] [Chorus/Fadeout] Abracadabra, I'm a wiz, Ya na Storm cloud eyes and a spell-bound tongue Abracadabra, I'm a wiz, ya ya Burning every book till the work is done Abra-bra-cada-da-bra (Abracadabra..) He'll cast a spell before the night is done... Bob's a wiz... abracadabra... Bob's a wiz... abracadabra...
