Lyrics The Magic Hour - Kimbra

The Magic Hour

You say the older I get, the better I was
Truth from a distance, but I still don’t measure up
I thought I could handle my words to your degree
They keep falling out of me like rose petals at the scene
Fate won’t change, it knows me by name
It calls and says
«Sell your soul to try»
«Understand it all»
In the light of The Magic Hour
Everything just seems to just slow right down
The more I know, The less I know
(And they’re still dancing)
The more I know, The less I know
(And they’re still dancing)
Don’t know where I’m going like I’m alone
(And they’re still dancing)
I met a normal man underground
He had nothing to care about
You’re the dark skip to the top
Beat out by the world, I gotta say
There’s a faded quarry livin' on my face
Fate won’t change, it knows me by name
It calls and says
«Sell your soul to try»
«Understand it all»
In the light of The Magic Hour
Everything just seems to just slow right down
The more I know, The less I know
(And they’re still dancing)
The more I know, The less I know
(And they’re still dancing)
Your baby down, you’re on the ground
(But I’m still dancing)
Oh!
Been tryna add it up
But it’s another game
No, life ain’t fair
(It's vanity)
Crowded streets all treat you the same
Feet don’t fail me now
I click my heels 3 times
(Off of the ground)
I lose, get lost
But, I’m runnin' near the crowds
Now my fate won’t change, it knows me by name
And it calls when I sell my soul
And try to understand it all
In the light of The Magic Hour
Everything seems to slow right down
The more I know, The less I know
(And they’re still dancing)
The more I know, The less I know
(And they’re still dancing)
The more I know, The less I know
(And I’m still dancing)
And they’re still dancing
(The more I know, The less I know)
And they’re still dancing
(I gotta go, The feeling’s gone)
And I’m still dancing
(The more I know, The less I know)
