[Intro — Low synth drone, reversed guitar swell, whispered male vocal] You walked in And every light in the room Suddenly looked wrong. [Beat enters] [Verse 1 — Low, smooth, controlled] You don’t need smoke around you Don’t need symbols on the floor Everybody feels you coming Before you even touch the door Black shirt, silver at your throat Half a smile you never explain You look at me for one second And suddenly I forget my name [Pre-Hook — Bass deepens, vocal tightening] I don’t believe in curses I don’t scare that easily But there’s something in the way you move That keeps rewriting me [Hook — Huge dark electronic/pop-rock lift] You’ve got dark magic Running underneath your skin One look and every wall I built Starts letting you in Dark magic And I know exactly what it does Turns common sense to static Turns caution into want I should know better I know the trick But baby, that’s the problem I like your dark magic [Post-Hook — Chopped whisper] Dark Dark Magic Do that again. [Verse 2 — More swagger, drums harder] You never chase the room’s attention It just bends around your shape Every eye keeps finding you Like gravity made a mistake You say my name across the noise Barely louder than a breath And somehow it hits harder Than anything anybody else has said [Pre-Hook — Rising tension] Maybe there’s no secret Maybe this is just your face But if that’s true, explain why Everything changes when you walk my way [Hook] You’ve got dark magic Running underneath your skin One look and every wall I built Starts letting you in Dark magic And I know exactly what it does Turns common sense to static Turns caution into want I should know better I know the trick But baby, that’s the problem I like your dark magic [Bridge — Beat drops out, intimate close-mic vocal] I checked your hands No hidden cards Checked your sleeves Nothing there So maybe you’re not doing anything Maybe I’m just That easy around you [Small laugh] That’s worse. [Build — Percussion returns in pulses, vocal rising] You step closer Room gets smaller Every instinct says don’t bother Then your mouth is near my ear And you say— [Whispered] “Still think it’s a trick?” [High Note] NO, I THINK IT’S MAAAAAGIC! [Final Hook — Massive guitars, synths, soaring lead vocal] You’ve got dark magic And tonight I’m done resisting Every little part of me You’ve got twisting Dark magic Let it get under my skin If this is some illusion Don’t tell me how it ends Take the logic Take the doubt Turn every careful thought inside out I know better I just don’t care Come a little closer Work your dark magic [Outro — Beat strips away, soft falsetto] You smile like you already knew Maybe you did Dark magic.
