The Magic Hour - Kimbra

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)
