<poem style="border: 1px solid #8eb6d4; background-color: #0b0b14; padding-left: 1em; padding-right: 3em; border-radius: 10px; width: fit-content">
Strange happenings, I could not hide
Felt the energy, she pulled me aside
She said, "Don't worry now, we can ride the tides"
Felt the pull of those burnin' eyes

Caught in a trance of the time
Drawn together by the fire light
Lost in her magic spell
And playing the game she knew so well

So supernatural
With eyes that glowed in the moonlight
So supernatural
Of potions and powders to make you feel right
So supernatural
Like a shadow in the candlelight
So supernatural
A vision of wonder all dressed in white

And I wonder, how long can this go on?

Midnight imaginings confusing reality
Caught in a whirlpool of one's own fantasy
Saying good, goodbye to dull personalities
We are just victims of our own destinies

We let our minds take wings
And soar away
To where strange powers lie
There was more to her than met the eye

So supernatural
With eyes that glowed in the moonlight
So supernatural
Of potions and powders to make you feel right
So supernatural
Like a shadow in the candlelight
So supernatural
A vision of wonder all dressed in white

And I wonder, how long can this go on?

She brought me up, she brought me down
The tables were turning, around and around
Over and over, the music got stronger
Ups and downs, I couldn't take it no longer
Draining my energies 'til there was no more
Felt it was time to head for the door
But something must have gone so wrong

So supernatural
With eyes that glowed in the moonlight
So supernatural
With potions and powders to make you feel right
So supernatural
Like a shadow in the candlelight
So supernatural
A vision of wonder all dressed in white

And I wonder, how long can this go on?</poem>
