We left town to look for someone who would listen
To some songs we cook 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

Tide shift and slide into another
Like a flat tire twisting fates
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

Tide shift and slide into another
Like a flat tire twisting fates
Innocent chance in the destiny dance
Take you down the wizard gates

We had to get back; we had the wrong box in the sack
We had to get back; she tagged along
She tagged along
She tagged along

Tide shift and slide into another
Like a flat tire twisting fates
Innocent chance in the destiny dance
Take you down the wizard gates

Take you down the wizard gates
Take you down the wizard gates
