Lyrics

Abracadabra, abracadabra
Abracadabra, abracadabra

Pay the toll to the angels
Drawing circles in the clouds
Keep your mind on the distance
When the devil turns around

Hold me in your heart tonight
In the magic of the dark moonlight
Save me from this empty fight
In the game of life
Like a poem said by a lady in red
You hear the last few words of your life
With a haunting glance, now you're both in a trance
It's time to cast your spell on the night

Abracadabra, amor-ooh-na-na
Abracadabra, morta-ooh-ga-ga
Abracadabra, abra-ooh-na-na
In her tongue, she said, "Death or love tonight"

Abracadabra, abracadabra
Abracadabra, abracadabra
Feel the beat under your feet, the floor's on fire
Abracadabra, abracadabra

Choose the road on the west side
As the dust flies, watch it burn
Don't waste time on a feeling
Your depression won't return

Hold me in your heart tonight
In the magic of the dark moonlight
Save me from this empty fight
In the game of life
Like a poem said by a lady in red
You hear the last few words of your life
With a haunting glance, now you're both in a trance
It's time to cast your spell on the night

Abracadabra, amor-ooh-na-na
Abracadabra, morta-ooh-ga-ga
Abracadabra, abra-ooh-na-na
In her tongue, she said, "Death or love tonight"

Abracadabra, abracadabra
Abracadabra, abracadabra
Feel the beat under your feet, the floor's on fire
Abracadabra, abracadabra

Phantom of the dance floor, come to me
Sing for me a sinful melody

Abracadabra, amor-ooh-na-na
Abracadabra, morta-ooh-ga-ga
Abracadabra, abra-ooh-na-na
In her tongue, she said, "Death or love tonight"
