John Cale
Hocus Pocus
[Intro]
(Well if you’re out and about on the freeways this morning, no dinosaurs to worry about)

[Verse 1]
So many ways
To wait behind the lines that border us from them
Don't take a shot
A smoke to trigger just a little bit from them
Can't be a crime to meddle
Can't be wrong to push the pedal
Queasy and grime, no fettle
Standing bones don't up the level

[Verse 2]
So many times
The prints don't match the brush that painted it from them
Don't take a forge
Or wait to dazzle as a conjurer from them
Behind the drape, un-aging
Behind aims of rearrangements
Stuck in the slime, no paddle
Guarded life, don't tend to dabble

[Chorus 1]
Legalise this principle
Jump into a spot not visible
Bring it closer to the middle
What's alright with control
[one step a] [what's left but]
Wander from the cynical
Take a look at views atypical
With an answer to the riddle
As a tightening grip, just when it starts to let go
[Post-Chorus]
Focus (Hocus Pocus)
Focus (Hocus Pocus)
Focus (Hocus Pocus)
Focus (Hocus Pocus)
Focus (Hocus Pocus)
Focus (Hocus Pocus)
Focus (Hocus Pocus)
Focus (Hocus Pocus)
So many ways
Can't be a crime
Behind the drape/drab

[Chorus 2]
Wander from the cynical
Take a look at this atypical
With an answer to the riddle
As the tightening grip, just when it starts to let go
Jump into a spot not visible
Bring it closer to the middle
What's alright with control
A slipping grip must let go

[Post-Chorus]
Focus (Hocus Pocus)
Focus (Hocus Pocus)
Focus (Hocus Pocus)
Focus (Hocus Pocus)
Focus (Hocus Pocus)
Focus (Hocus Pocus)
Focus (Hocus Pocus)
Focus (Hocus Pocus)
