Actually I heard is was either GLEN BALLARD or DESMOND CHILD. Funny how they gave up the potentially lucrative song writing cred. for it though. And ED would bring one of those guys in just to write lyrics...

Wise Me Magic. Or Why is me magic as you can say. Me in the magic is like the E in Earvin. Earvin Magic Johnson. This man ran showtime in the 80's. So the fine members of Van Halen wrote a song in the name of Why Is Me Magic? The answer could be determined in so so many ways.

See it from this perspective. Do you know magic? Is the projectoratory done with smoke and mirrors. Like the M in mirrors, magic, and me. Butitlary in the most arvarace of forms. Wise Me Magic. The solution could be simple if the anerity is pointed in the right direction. That ism the way one must see the contrivacle factors. Did not a young Cassius Clay beat Sonny Liston? Was that done with the trickivity of the application of smoke and mirros? Look it up. Did Wilt really have a game where he pulled down 55 rebounds? What is his shoe size? Not 22 like one Shaquille O' Neal. The frumprication of the dercbinirery for the most longest of times. Only in America!

X=mc 2. Am I not correct? Well, it's my pleasure. Glad to be of service. And since I was discussing Barry Bonds and charitie. I am in the charitable mood. So, the payment from my coalition will once again be delayed. DLR Army won't be receving a sum payment as it will be rerouted instead to a charity of my choice (My pocket.) Ha Ha Ha Ha Hee Hee Haa. Just kidding my good people. Only in America!


Above is the delayed donation to the DLR Army that is going to a charity of our choice instead.

Leave now dude..that was plain dumb

Dave wrote the lyrics...

[DLR'sCock]

(Words by Van Halen)

I know what you're thinkin'
What you're thinkin' is easy to see
I know what you're dreamin'
I have those same dreams

Wow!
Reach up to the feet of God
Lookin' for a sign
It was right here all the time, time, time, time!

I am you and you are me

(Do you believe?)
Don't ya trust me?
Me Wise Magic
Ow, baby hold on
(If you could see)
Through my eyes
Me Wise Magic
Ow, hold on

I feel you breathin'
Don't you trust me (trust me)
I feel you agreein'
I know what you need

Wow!
Don't you lie
Just you listen thru me
My words at best to you
A fortune coo-coo-coo-kie
(Who are you and where are we?)

(Do you believe?)
Ow! Don't ya trust me?
Me Wise Magic
Yeah, yeah ow ow!
(If you could see)
Straight through my eyes
Me Wise Magic

A little Zen
headed your way
You'll get it
halfway down the interstate
Four days from now
It all goes clear
A Buddhist riff
for your inner ear

(Guitar Solo)

(Do you believe?)
Ow! Don't ya trust me?
Me Wise Magic
Yeah yeah! Oh yeah! Whoa!
(If you could see)
Straight through my eyes
Me Wise Magic
Whoa-oh-oh!

(Do you believe?)
Tell me you believe
Do you believe?

Whoa, yeah!
(If you could see)
Me Wise Magic
(Do you believe?)
Me Wise Magic
(If you could see)
Me Wise Magic
(Ooooooooo)

Titles need not have anything to do with lyrical content, see Led Zeppelin. Having said that, Me Wise Magic was also the name of a race horse in the 70's I believe. If this was mentioned previously, I apologize.

The "A little zen, headed your way....." verse always gives me fucking goosebumps.

[zeronumber]

Thanks guys, awesome input. Huge props to DLR's Cock for posting the lyrics. Thanks alot man.

Its like when Dave said:

"Ain't got no money, got no house on the hill, tell me honey whether my love will pay the bills, yeah, pay my bills..."

[rickipoint2002]

I am sorry so many are giving you crap about asking a ligit question.
This is my take on it only because I have listen to alot DLR audio interviews, knowing this I am left with the feeling that Dave wrote it one night when he was watching old black and whites on the tube. If you really listen to the song ( as i have, and still think it was the first of many that could have brought the mid 90's back to a good place musically for me) the hook ,"me wise magic" is a line that the great white hunter used when showing the natives the magic fire he could create from his cig lighter. The fact that Dave seems to write from what he experiences in day to day life is how I take the song, but what the hell do i know, i am just a middle aged bassist puttin in his 2 cents

[ace diamond]

listen to it again.
dave was being his usual smart-ass self and telling eddie "FUCK YOU" in true dave fasion,while at the same time letting us true fans know what the deal was. he was basically telling us,in both tunes,cgtsnm and mwm,that a re-union is never gonna happen and eddie is all washed up while dave just keeps on truckin'. in other words,dave is saying there is no hope for a cvh re-union and that vh is finished.dave is also saying that the rest of vh has not a clue why everything is totally shit for them. DAVE WAS TELLING VH "IT DAVE OR THE GRAVE MOTHERFUCKERS!!!!!!!"

The printed lyrics are actually,"Tell me honey will you help me be my pills". I always thought "pay my bills" made more sense, but that's what was so cool about Dave's lyrics. You don't really know what he's singing about, nor does it matter since it's all good with Dave.
