Magnificent Songtext
von Prince

Yeah

So much anticipation
For this conversation
For such a long time
Like a meeting of two nations
This special occasion
Got us both tongue-tied

Let me just say that I′ve respected you
From a distance
I been watching you, sho' been watching you
In the time it took the others to say your name
We became magnificent

What I′m about to say will astound you
But I can only say it when no one's around you
Magnificent, oh-oh
Magnificent
When it pounds you
Magnificent, oh-oh
The voice that you hear is the alchemy of your mind


The two of us like stardust
We go back, yeah we must
To the dawning of all time (time, time, time, time)
To the nuclear reaction
The only present satisfaction
The sweet and sticky kind (oh, oh, oh)

Regardless of what they say to you (say to you)
The moment you hear me speak, they're through
(No matter what to you, they just through)
Like paradise, I′m so nice
I never lose my effect on you

What I′m about to say will astound you
But I can only say it when no one's around you
Magnificent, oh-oh
Magnificent
When it pounds you
Magnificent, oh-oh
The voice that you hear is the alchemy of your mind

The voice that you hear is the alchemy of your mind
Counting backwards, a thousand to one
Everything we do is so much fun
To our time before time began
Before I was a woman, before you were a man
Before sex and race ever mattered
Tell me now do you understand?


What I′m about to say will astound you
But I can only say it when no one's around you
What-what-what I′m about to say will astound you
But I can only say it when no one's around you
Magnificent, oh-oh
Magnificent
When it pounds you
Magnificent, oh-oh
The voice that you hear is the alchemy of your mind

Magnificent
Magnificent, oh-oh
Magnificent
The voice that you hear is the alchemy of your mind
