She was bond
Surrounded by madness
You recognize the feeling
Struck past soiled with sadness
She finds her seat
in between the sheets
Workin’ a sideshow
Blisters of Go-Go
Sweepin’ away the dust
In one straight blow
And the whole town
Looks so slown-down
Everytime, she came around
Beefin’ it up with the bad boys
Beefin’ it up with the boys in black
Beefin’ it up with the bad boys
Beefin’ it up with the boys in black
She's like a wild splashing river
A mountain top full of snow
Sweepin’ away the dust
In one straight blow
Your hangin’ around with those Indians, Gypsies
Those’ yellows’ and ‘black’
And the whole town looks so slown-down
Youre lookin’ like a wreck
She beat the hum of scandel
When she comes in
they're freezin’ the saddles
Beefin’ it up with the bad boys
Beefin’ it up with the boys in black
Beefin’ it up with the bad boys
Beefin’ it up with the boys in black
Beefin’ it up with the bad boys
Beefin’ it up with the boys in black
Beefin’ it up with the bad boys
Beefin’ it up with the boys in black
And the whole town
Looks slown-down
Everytime,
she came around
She was bond
Surrounded by madness
You recognize the feeling
Struck past soiled with sadness
She finds her seat
in between the sheets
Workin’ a sideshow
Blisters of Go-Go
Sweepin’ away the dust
In one straight blow
And the whole town
Looks so slown-down
Everytime, she came around
Beefin’ it up with the bad boys
Beefin’ it up with the boys in black
Beefin’ it up with the bad boys
Beefin’ it up with the boys in black
She's like a wild splashing river
A mountain top full of snow
Sweepin’ away the dust
In one straight blow
Your hangin’ around with those Indians, Gypsies
Those’ yellows’ and ‘black’
And the whole town looks so slown-down
Youre lookin’ like a wreck
She beat the hum of scandel
When she comes in
they're freezin’ the saddles
Beefin’ it up with the bad boys
Beefin’ it up with the boys in black
Beefin’ it up with the bad boys
Beefin’ it up with the boys in black
Beefin’ it up with the bad boys
Beefin’ it up with the boys in black
Beefin’ it up with the bad boys
Beefin’ it up with the boys in black
And the whole town
Looks slown-down
Everytime,
she came around
![Focus - Hocus Pocus (1973) Live
Hocus Pocus is a 1971 song from Focus II (a.k.a. Moving Waves), the second album by Dutch rock group Focus. It was written by guitarist Jan Akkerman and flautist-keyboardist Thijs van Leer.
An edited version was released as a single (with Janis as the B-side) on the Imperial Records, Polydor and Blue Horizon labels in Europe in 1971, but it did not chart in the UK until 1973. A faster re-recording, Hocus Pocus 2, was released as a single (with House of the King as the B-side) in Europe in 1972. Hocus Pocus c/w Hocus Pocus II [sic] was released as a single on the Sire Records label in the United States and Canada in 1973.
It reached No. 20 in the UK, No. 18 in Canada, and No. 9 in the US during the spring and summer of 1973. It re-entered the UK charts at No. 57 on 6 June 2010 after being featured heavily on The Chris Moyles Show and in a Nike TV advert shown during the 2010 FIFA World Cup. The song has been covered by the Vandals, and was recorded on their debut LP, When in Rome Do as The Vandals in 1984.
