"Magic Man" by Heart (Performed by Miranda)

*Disappears backstage and rummages through the many outfits available to all. I slip on tight leather pants and a leather bra, both in the colour of dark red. I go back to the crowd and find Santiago...pulling him before he finds his way off the stage. I steal the microphone from Lestat and I whisper in Santiago's ear.*

It's all your fault for getting me here in the first place.

*The music thunders across the room and fills many with memories.*

I never found someone to fit these lyrics, I can say I have now.

*I start singing as my hands caress his beautiful face, perfect lines and exotic contours.*

Cold late night so long ago
When I was not so strong you know
A pretty man came to me
Never seen eyes so dark
You know I could not run away
It seemed we'd seen each other in a dream
It seemed like he knew me
He looked right through me, yeah

*I stand behind him and my hands run across the leather of his jacket before slipping it over his shoulders*

"Come on home, girl" he said with a smile
"You don't have to love me and
Let's get high awhile
But try to understand
Try to understand
Try try try to understand
I'm a magic man."

*My hands move across his chest slowly.*

Winter nights we sang in tune
Played inside the months of June
Never think of never
Let this spell last forever
Summer lover passed to fall
Tried to realize it all
Mama says she's worried
Growing up in a hurry, yeah

*I circle him and move to stand in front of him, taking his hands and pulling gently to rest on my stomach.*

"Come on home, girl" mama cried on the phone
"Too soon to lose my baby and my girl should be at home!"
"But try to understand, try to understand
Try try try to understand
He's a magic man, mama, ah ...
He's a magic man"

Come on, Santiago, sing along!

"Come on home, girl" he said with a smile
"I cast my spell of love on you, a woman from a child!
But try to understand, try to understand, oh ... oh ...
Try try to understand
Try try try to understand
I'm a magic man!" oh yeah
Oh, you've got the magic hands

*I turn and face him, out of breath and thrilled with my singing partner. I kiss both his cheeks before adjusting his jacket to cover his bare shoulders.*

Whoops...sorry...got a bit carried away there!
