Revisiting Abracadabra

/2008/12/abracadabra.jpg Something I was wondering as we drove home tonight...

In the Steve Miller song Abracadabra one verse starts...

I see magic in your eyes
I hear the magic in your sighs

I like the way he properly uses two senses. "See - eyes" "hear - sighs". Perfect. But then the verse continues...

Just when I think I'm gonna get away
I hear those words that you always say

I wondered why he didn't continue the verse in the theme of the song. Like this:

I see magic in your eyes
I hear the magic in your sighs
I feel the magic of your thighs

Oh, you worry that I left out a line and a sense? Ok, how about this...

I see magic in your eyes
I hear the magic in your sighs
I feel the magic of your thighs
I taste the magic of your fries

Sing along with me...

Abra-abra-cadabra
I want to reach out and grab ya
Abra-abra-cadabra
Abracadabra

I think that was the lyric in Abracadabra (Detroit House Mix)

My life's been pretty unremarkable lately, but pfft. Oh well. My mind is like a void. I haven't gotten much done.,
