Cars, The - Magic Lyrics






Summer it turns me upside down
Summer summer summer
It's like a merry go round
I see you under the midnight
All shackles and bows
High shoes with the cleats a-clicking
A temperamental glow
Oh, don't you let me go

Oh, got a hold on you
Got a hold on you
I've got a hold on you tonight

Got a hold on you
Got a hold on you
I've got a hold on you

I'll check

(Uh oh, it's magic)
When I'm with you
(Uh oh, it's magic)
Just a little magic
You know it's true
I got a hold on you

Oh, twisted under sideways down
I know you're getting twisted
And you can't calm down
I see you under the midnight
Love darts in your eyes
How far can you take it
Till you realize
There's magic in your eyes

I got a hold on you
Got a hold on you
Got a hold on you tonight

I got a hold on you
Got a hold on you
(Got a hold on you)
Yeah, oh, yeah, oh

You get it

(Uh oh, it's magic)
Uh oh, when I'm with you
(Uh oh, it's magic)
Magic pull me through
I got a hold on you

I've got a hold on you
I got a hold on you
(I got a hold on you)
That's right, it's magic

(Uh oh, it's magic)
Uh oh, it's magic
When I'm with you

(Uh oh, it's magic)
Just a little magic
Inside of you

(Uh oh, it's magic)
Takes a little bit of magic
That's true
When I'm with you

(Uh oh, it's magic)
Gotta be magic
Your magic pulls me through

    I confess that this creative song Magic by The Cars started to resonate with my music listening soul by the summer 2017 timeframe after hearing it enough times via iheartradio.

  80. m.... v....

    One of my most loved CARS videos. I miss Benjamin and Ric. I have always thought this video was a mix of Ric being Jesus or various characters from Greek Mythology. I have never understood it completely. I loved this as a child in the 80's and was heart broken when Ric passed.

  81. M.... F....

    3:16 Is that Val Kilmer? Sure looks like him.

  82. 6.... ....

    Magic is a song from the American new wave band The Cars, which is the second single from the Heartbeat City album released in March 1984.
    Composed by singer, rhythm guitarist and band leader Ric Ocasek, the song is produced by Robert John "Mutt" Lange with the band.
    Magic came out as a single and finished twelfth in the Billboard Hot 100 weekly standings and first place in the Mainstream Rock Tracks chart.
    The title also reaches 14th place in Canada and 50th place in New Zealand.
    The video takes place at a party around the pool of a rich property, attended by a crowd of weird characters and a little crazy.
    Ric Ocasek walks on the pool water as guests gather around him to admire him. At the end of the video, some of the guests try to reach him but can not walk on the water like him and find themselves in the water up to the neck. Meanwhile, Ric Ocasek remains standing on the water because, as the title of the song suggests, "it's magic".
    The Cars turned Magic into the Hilton family property in Beverly Hills, which they rented to Kathy Hilton (Paris Hilton's mother). A Plexiglas platform was placed under the surface of the water but it gave way during the first catch and had to be adapted to the weight of Ric Ocasek.
    The house was also used for filming Blind Date with Bruce Willis and Kim Basinger in 1987.

  83. J.... j....

    there best tune by far...so uplifting and just a great song!

  84. m.... j....

    here waiting on a little magic! can't take another heart break!

  85. i.... c....

    me re gusto el video musical re lamentable que se muriera rick una gran perdida en el mundo de la musica

  86. s.... ....

    I was 12 when this song played 50 times a day....Ric should have NEVER been the front man. He's so ugly/homely to us young girls it made this band less than if Ben had remained the front man during the video days
    Paulina P gave him false confidence

  87. B.... ....

    Britan band I thought they were in this video. Discovered this band after the passing of the lead singer, and have really have come to like them. 👌🙃

  88. M.... I....

    Deadpool 3!

  89. M.... N....

    Se acabó la magia de Ric Ocasek. RIP

  90. P.... L....

    This video was shot on location at the Hilton estate in Beverly Hills. Paris Hilton was only 3yrs old at the time. RIP Rick O & Ben O

  91. M.... w....

    Ric Ocasek is so damn awesome
    Rest in Paradise

  92. G.... X....

    Unfair the Ric Ocasek got all the attention in this official video. His band mates got about 1 second each.

    G.... X....

    He was the front man!!

    G.... X....

    And a "front man" would be nobody without other members of a band that collectively give any band its personality. Not disagreeing with you because, in fact, you are correct. Just saying that I regret what is customary, in most rock videos.

  93. G.... B....

    RIP Ric 💙💛❤💚💜

  94. M.... R....

    Show more of that hunky bass player!

  95. R.... ....

    Rest In Peace Ric Ocasek. Thank you for the music and the magic. We've compiled our favorite Cars and Ric videos and tunes. Watch them all here http://bit.ly/2ke4XcC

    R.... ....

    Ric Ocasek would still be alive if he hadn't had surgery. Surgery doesn't always make a person get better after illnesses.

    R.... ....

    I did know Rick has past away... :(

    R.... ....

    oh thanks. Is there money left on my bank account in US?
