Emily sits on the seventh stair  Just outside the lions' lair  Holding the magic in her bowl  She feels complete, it makes her whole  She takes the hand of a passing boy  Who treats her like a battered toy  She doesn't know, she doesn't care  She breathes the magic in the air  And how do you tell her it isn't real?  How do you say it's a short end deal?  How do you save a passing glance?  And how do you give her another chance?  It's a hard won fight to keep her here  Where reality is crystal clear  She says she loves you, she slips away  She says she'll find you some other day  She'll make you feel like she wants to go  But she says it isn't true you know  She says the hazes are her home  She'll show you where she wants to roam  (Chorus)  She's beautiful and she's very sweet  But the magic smoke is who she'll meet  So the letters you write, you'll never send  Her daytime nightmare never ends  You're watching it pull her to the top  You're waiting for the shoe to drop  She says she loves you but she won't stay  She says it's her life anyway  (Chorus)
