about

Unearthed from a decade-old recording session, Genie In A Bottle is an artifact of a bygone rip-roaring era of unapologetically loud guitars and hard-hitting drums (at least for this now mellowed-out band).

It's a song about romance gone awry, wishes unfulfilled, and the stubborn, enduring desire to still believe in what has proven to be a fool's errand.

Genie In A Bottle

Lyrics by Eric Butterfield
Music by Brian Satterfield

she, could she be
my genie in a bottle?
showing me impossible things
here she come

chorus:
kissing me with a pinch on the chin
genie in a bottle I wanna spin again
again and again

oh, she grants me a wish
but let's me know payback's a bitch
nothing's ever free

chorus:
kissing me with a kick to the shin
push me away then pull me in
never sure just where I stand

all our unplanned confessions
taught us no good lessons
but we can't put them back

she wants to be my genie in a bottle
a magical impossible thing
yeah, she's my genie in a bottle
I wanna spin again
wanna spin again

you know I wanna believe
I know you wanna believe
girl, I know you wanna believe
the tricks hidden up your sleeve
you know I wanna believe them too
I wanna believe that you're my genie
