Blue Magic is a song written by Jack Pendarvis and first performed by Kelly Hogan and Bill Taft in 1993. That original recording was used in the Elements episode "Winter Light."[1] An Ice Fox is seen playing a guitar among an orchestra of other foxes, but only the guitar is played for this song.
Lyrics[]
It's a humid night The moon is getting full again Somewhere there's a slight figure made of paraffin And someone is turning its head |
And someone is pulling its leg It's magic It's a restless crowd, the doves are flying from his sleeves One girl's not so loud, like a convert she believes |
She's always been looking for wires, but now she knows none are required It's magic Wrap me up in chains, with the magic words you say I can use my brains, I can make my getaway |
But I will be your volunteer, if you make this love disappear Like magic Magic |
