Spellbound Lyrics

[Intro]
From the cradle bars
Comes a beckoning voice
It sends you spinning
You have no choice

[Verse 1]
You hear laughter
Cracking through the walls
It sends you spinning
You have no choice
You hear laughter
Cracking through the walls
It sends you spinning
You have no choice

[Chorus]
Following the footsteps
Of a rag doll dance
We are entranced
Spellbound
Following the footsteps
Of a rag doll dance
We are entranced
Spellbound
Spellbound, spellbound, ooh-ooh
Spellbound, spellbound, spellbound, spellbound
[Verse 2]
And don't forget when your elders forget
To say their prayers
Take them by the legs
And throw them down the stairs


When you think your toys
Have gone berserk
It's an illusion
You cannot shirk
You hear laughter
Cracking through the walls
It sends you spinning
You have no choice

[Chorus]
Following the footsteps
Of a rag doll dance
We are entranced
Spellbound
Following the footsteps
Of a rag doll dance
We are entranced
Spellbound
Spellbound, spellbound, ooh-ooh
Spellbound, spellbound, spellbound, spellbound
[Outro]
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Following the footsteps
Of a rag doll dance
We are entranced
Following the footsteps
Of a rag doll dance
We are entranced
Entranced, entranced
Entranced, entranced
Entranced, entranced

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
