Lyrics

She traded her tail for a token of steel A subway spell A city deal Now she's lost in the rumble The iron maze Singing songs to ghosts on the A train haze Ooh She hums like the ocean Ooh Her heart's in motion She sings to the city But it never sings back Dreaming of tides where the streets fade to black Her voice echoes through tunnels A watery hymn A melody bright in the shadowed dim Every coin in her case A memory sold But the Hudson whispers The water feels cold Steel rails won't carry her home Saltwater calls But she's alone Ooh She hums like the ocean Ooh Her heart's in motion She sings to the city But it never sings back Dreaming of tides where the streets fade to black Turnstiles spin But they won't set her free Concrete rivers are no place for the sea She's a siren unmoored With a borrowed soul Singing for a skyline that swallows her whole

...spellbound... ...spellbound... ...spellbound... Step into the sugar den The lights are low Hansel's got the bass Gretel runs the glow Neon licorice vines They pull you inside A sprinkle of mischief A shot of wild ride Sugar whispers secrets The walls start to sway One more bite And you'll drift away Candy spellbound Your heart's on fire One taste You're lost in a sweet desire Candy spellbound Can't say no Hansel and Gretel got your soul in SoHo Gumdrops falling like a disco ball Lollipops spinning You're under their thrall Chocolate rivers run deep in the night Eat the wrong treat And you'll dance till it's light Cotton candy clouds A dizzying maze Cinnamon stars set the room ablaze Your feet won't stop The rhythm's a chain The candy's enchanted It's rewired your brain

Castle to towers.. prince in the game Manhattan calls.. feel the flame Sword swapped for suit, crown for keys Penthouse views, close with ease Wink and grin, clients fall in Silver words, seal the win Open doors, hearts explore Love's hideout, wantin' more Prince Charming, estate king Sky dreams ring Charm condos, luxury spin Love hunt begin Manhattan close, tongue flows Crowd knows, hope grows Dazzle vibe, house alive Traded walls.. rise tall Charm on.. disguise gone Doors wide.. hearts collide Seal now.. forever wow

He packed his bolts and his big old boots Left the castle with a howlin' hoot The moon was high The road was dark A monster's dream A Central Park Frankenstein is moving to New York Trading pitchforks for a taxi horn From haunted hills to the city lights Frankenstein is feeling alive tonight Cobblestones swapped for subway trains Electric veins in his metal frame Steam's rising up from the sidewalk grates He's stomping through those iron gates The city never sleeps But neither does he A creature chasing his destiny Frankenstein is moving to New York Trading pitchforks for a taxi horn From haunted hills to the city lights Frankenstein is feeling alive tonight Broadway's calling His shadow's long Neon buzzing like a Tesla song The skyline's stitched with bolts of gold A madman's dream A tale retold

A shadow in the market She sets her stall Her apples gleam like secrets She whispers to all "Take a bite Just one And see what's true" The truth's not sweet But it'll cut right through Poison apple Take a bite Revelations in the pale moonlight She sells the truth She sells the pain You'll never see the world the same A man in a suit takes one for his greed He bites And sees the faces of those in need A woman in love takes a crimson sphere She learns her heart's been twisted by fear A taste of wisdom A touch of sin She warns them softly "It comes from within" Poison apple Take a bite Revelations in the pale moonlight She sells the truth She sells the pain You'll never see the world the same

I had a castle A throne A golden hall But the crown felt heavy The ceilings too tall Dreams don't fit in velvet-lined cages So I traded my life for a store that ages Shelves of candy Shelves of wine Underneath the neon sign From crown to catnip I roam the aisles Daytime human Nighttime feline smiles Royal no more But I know where I'm at I'm the princess by day And the bodega cat The scepter's gone I wield a mop Ring up coffee and dreams at my tiny shop Milk crates stacked like royal decree Every corner whispers "You're finally free" The bell on the door sings a tune so sweet Pavement's my palace This life's complete From crown to catnip I prowl with ease Swapping jewels for the midnight cheese Royal no more But I'm cool with that I'm the princess by day And the bodega cat

In SoHo she hums under neon skies With a wand in her hand and stars in her eyes She's coding magic in electric streams Turning pixels into lovers' dreams One swipe left A spark won't light One swipe right Hearts take flight With a swipe of her wand Love comes alive She'll code you a match that makes you thrive Digital wishes Whispered sweet In her app Two souls will meet Her spells aren't potions They're lines of code A modern fairy in a techie mode She's swiping faster than cupid's dart Pairing up strangers heart by heart A tap A touch A destiny bound In a sea of faces True love found With a swipe of her wand Love comes alive She'll code you a match that makes you thrive Digital wishes Whispered sweet In her app Two souls will meet

Through marble halls where shadows creep I linger where the books still sleep The scent of pages Ink-stained air But no one sees me standing there They scroll their screens They barely look Yet I still whisper Find the book Whispers in the stacks Follow me back Through dusty tomes and faded tracks A ghost who reads A soul unbound I'll guide you where the lost are found Budget cuts My spine's worn thin E-readers hum They won't let me in I knew the Dewey I knew it well But now these numbers feel like spells I flicker lights I move the air I'll lead you if you dare to care Whispers in the stacks Follow me back Through dusty tomes and faded tracks A ghost who reads A soul unbound I'll guide you where the lost are found

Times Square lights, stone to life Gargoyle groove, feel the night Up on the ledge, cold and gray Woke up one night, broke away Cloak on my back, wings tucked tight Jugglin' fire in the neon light Crowds gather 'round, coins in the hat Dancin' wild, feelin' that Searchin' for magic, a spell to hold Human forever, break the mold Gargoyle dancin' in the square (hey!) Jugglin' dreams, without a care (oh yeah!) Wings hidden, but soul's on fire Chasin' freedom, higher and higher Times Square performer, stone to beat Crowds are movin, feel the heat Dazzle 'em all, under the lights Gargoyle groove through the nights From cathedral spires to city streets Earnin' my way with funky feats Twirl and spin, cloak flappin' loose One wrong move, wings might choose But the rhythm calls, bassline thumps Human spell, gotta jump Coins clinkin, crowds in trance This gargoyle's takin' his chance Stone cracks.. life attacks Wings peek.. freedom seeks Spell's near.. lose the fear Dance on.. till dawn

Magic meter runs tick tick tock Yellow cab zooms past the block Lamp's gone but I'm still on lock Granting wishes in the city smog Traffic's thick like peanut butter Patience thinning Hear the mutter I snap my fingers Green lights flutter Hop in my cab I'll change your life Quick ride Big dreams No fuss no strife Genie Taxi Driver in Midtown — hey I'm the guy who makes your Monday sway You want a job or a new romance A Broadway show or just a chance Tell me your wish Take a stance I'll steer your life It's no happenstance Horn's a trumpet Streets a stage Magic cruising Turn the page Midtown's maze I'm the sage Hop in my cab I'll change your life Quick ride Big dreams No fuss no strife Genie Taxi Driver in Midtown — hey I'm the guy who makes your Monday sway
