Max Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

There are boats on the water. There are children on the sand
There is promise in her smile. There are miracles in her hand
And the busboys and the waiters and the fishermen too
Long to catch, that face with a view
And she brings you your soup, your salad, and your wine
And you want so much more, but you know she'd decline
And she's casting, her spell, with the wave of her wand
This angel, this devil, this black magic blonde. This black magic blonde

And you're jealous of the sun, that caresses her hair
And you feel like a voyeur, but you can't help but stare
The older men curse, the wives at their side
She comes like a breeze, but leaves with the tide
And she brings, to the tourists, a moment of bliss
A second of pleasure, like a rainy night's kiss
And she's casting, her spell, with the wave of her wand
This angel, this devil, this black magic blonde. This black magic blonde
And your cynicism is worn, like some old corduroy
Vanquished, and foiled, by her conquering joy
And she waits in the wings of fantasy's stage
But you're stuck in the middle, of reality's cage
And you would so like to stay, but there are things you must do
There are trains to catch, and you're just passing through
And she's casting, her spell, with the wave of her wand
This angel, this devil, this black magic blonde. This black magic blonde
This black magic blonde. This black magic
This black magic blonde. This black magic
This black magic blonde. This black magic
This black magic blonde. This black magic blonde. This black magic blonde
This black magic blonde. This black magic blonde. This black magic blonde

This black magic blonde. This black magic blonde. This black magic blonde
This black magic blonde

Overall Meaning

The first verse sets the scene by describing the idyllic setting of boats on the water and children playing on the sand, with the promise of miracles in the woman's hand and her smile. The second verse takes us deeper into the enchantment of this woman's aura, with the vivid description of the busboys, waiters, and fishermen all longing to catch a glimpse of her face with a view. The singer is clearly besotted with her but feels that his desires would be declined by her, and even though she brings him his soup, salad, and wine, he knows that she remains distant.

The third verse speaks about the woman's effect on those around her, with the older men cursing and their wives feeling jealous in her presence. She offers a moment of bliss or a second of pleasure to the tourists, but the singer is caught in the middle of reality's cage even though he would like to stay under her spell. The repetition of "this black magic blonde" creates a sense of the supernatural and the mysterious, emphasizing her power over people.
