Liner Notes:

It’s taken six years for us to get around to collaborating, but I’m glad we did!

Willis sent me these great fun lyrics, I added some music and vox and then Willis added some harmony vox. This is so out of the vein that I’d normally write in that it was a challenge. I tried to write this at a Fireball tempo, but I’m just not that fleet of tongue.

Lyrics:

well, when we set this whole thing up, we didn’t know what we might find
and though your message promised magic, this is not what i had in mind
if you’ve got handcuffs, bring ‘em, but leave the fake ones at home
along with the fake bouquet and the fake hand made of foam
there’s magic everywhere; there’s really no need for all that.
there’s magic everywhere, so put the rabbit back in your hat.

there’s a lot of common ground, and a good dose of desperation
but not a lot of patience with your houdini fascination
i’m not your sexy sidekick, just because i’m hot and blonde.
you’re not gonna like what happens if you don’t put away that wand.
there’s magic everywhere, but the boat’s about to leave.
there’s magic everywhere, so put the rabbit back up your sleeve.

you poured milk into my paper, now it’s all over the floor
you’ve pulled so many scarves out i can’t close the closet door
i can’t believe you won’t give up this stupid cheesy act
i feel like i’m getting sawed in half, and it’s no aphrodisiac
there’s magic everywhere, and everywhere romance
there’s magic everywhere, but put the rabbit back in your pants.

You tell me to pick a card, say you’re gonna read my mind
But if you could really see my thoughts then you’d find something to get behind
A plastic flower won’t thrill me even from behind my ear
The best trick that you could do would to be to disappear

there’s magic everywhere, but if you’re looking for romance
your best bet would be to put the rabbit back in your pants.
