Misdirection

I once heard of a woman who learned
An alchemy for love, so I
Took a look in the book of the poets
That claimed to have the cure

But she's still on my mind
She knows there's a space in my head
That is vacant
And waiting to be possessed

Take a dare, I don't care, maybe something there
Could be adrift if I
Know the land where I stand running in the sand
Eyes looking here

But she knows
I know

She don't care
She's looking elsewhere
Misdirection magic hold on me
She got me under a spell like I'd do the same to her
But no good, come away it seems
There's a star in her eyes
Somewhere

But not here

Like a fox on the rocks looking for a flock
I follow the white rabbit
And although she's the star of a magic show
The riddles won't cease

Cards don't talk to Heaven
And I begin to see that I would never break free

Cause she don't care
She's looking elsewhere
Misdirection magic hold on me
She got me under a spell like I'd do the same to her
But no good, come away it seems
There's a star in her eyes
Somewhere

But not here

Swirling in the alchemy
But now I finally see
The secret of the magic
That's been eluding me

Now I don't care
I'm looking elsewhere
Misdirection magic hold oh yeah
She got someone on a spell like I did the same to her
So don't come, look away you see
There's a star in my eyes
Somewhere

Now I don't care
I'm looking elsewhere
Misdirection magic hold oh yeah
She got someone on a spell like I did the same to her
So don't come, look away you see
There's a star in my eyes
Out there, somewhere

But not here

Oh yeah
Oh yeah
Oh yeah
