We left town to look for someone who would listen

To some songs we cooked in our magic kitchen

Change was forbidden, it wasn't clear

Everyone must sing the same old songs every year

Like a spell the sounds came dancing in our heads

Painting pictures as we slept our souls were fed

In a music box we kept our secret songs

Packed our bags we took the van and before long

Tides shift and slide into another

Like a flat tire twisting fates

An innocent chance in the destiny dance

Take you down the wizard gates

Never speak to strangers often I was told

They looked desperately harmless, I felt bold

Sometime later, alligator, we were friends

Shared some stories, tales of worries, somehow it all blends

Everyone seemed all right

Situation stable

Everyone seemed all right

Never turns out to be quite simple

We had to get back

We packed the wrong box in the sack

We had to get back

And she tagged along

Tides shift and slide into another

Like a flat tire twisting fates

An innocent chance in the destiny dance

Take you down the wizard gates

We had to get back

We packed the wrong box in the sack

We had to get back

And she tagged along

She tagged along

She tagged along

Tides shift and slide into another

Like a flat tire twisting fates

An innocent chance in the destiny dance

Take you down the wizard gates

Take you down the wizard gates

Take you down the wizard gates
