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

Tide shift and slide into another
Like a flat tire twisting fate
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
Shares 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 bags in the sack
We had to get back
And she tagged along

Tide shift and slide into another
Like a flat tire twisting fate
An innocent chance
In the destiny dance
Take you down the wizard gates

We had to get back
We packed the wrong bags in the sack
We had to get back
And she tagged along, she tagged along, she tagged along

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