Bad Magic Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Get out of bed
Put on some clothes
And find your shoes
At least there's nothing more
You could really lose, now is there?

[Verse 2]
Drink a cup, had enough
The sky don't shine on me anymore
Since I been staring here at this floor
For too many days
Lost my way
And got on this train that's running away
It's carried me this far
But now I can't stay
Now, oh-oh

[Chorus]
Pretty bad magic
Pretty tragic
On a runaway train
And I'm not going insane
Things just don't stay the same
And I must find a new way

[Verse 3]
Make the best of death
And love what's left
You're not just a time bomb
Just 'cause you went off
Don't mean you're scattered
Everywhere
It's still there in the palms of your hands
Just give it one more chance
Don't wait to understand
Just find a new way

[Chorus]
Pretty bad magic
Pretty tragic
On a runaway train
And I'm not going insane
Things just don't stay the same
And I must find a new way

[Post-Chorus]
One more day
My soul can give
It'll work out for me
When I need the man
That makes the blind see
Through me
See through me
See through me

This song bio is unreviewed

At a concert at Brooklyn Steel on March 3rd, 2023, Natalie contextualized the song, describing a brief but bleak point in her life where she was “listening to snow plows scrape asphalt off the streets and smoking cigarettes out of her window, living off of her roommate’s takeout in the fridge. It’s very much a when New York chews you up and spits you out kinda vibe, but luckily it spit me out pretty good and I’m better for it”.
