Immortal Sojourns



"Abracadabra" by Steve Miller Band (Performed by Santiago)

Remaining shirtless and in the black leather pants, I slip on a pair of black velvet gloves, put a black fedora on and walk up on the stage as the drums and guitars begin.

The lights behind me fade from red to blue then a twirling spot shining on the floor swirls.
I heat up, I can’t cool down
You got me spinni’
’round and ’round
’round and ’round and ’round it goes
Where it stops nobody knows

The lights change back to red as I cock my hips forward, leaning back slightly, moving my hat down over in front of my eyes.
Every time you call my name
I heat up like a burnin’ flame
Burnin’ flame full of desire
Kiss me baby, let the fire get higher

Nicolas and Laurent walk up on stage behind me, singing, also now wearing black fedoras.
Abra-abra-cadabra
I want to reach out and grab ya
Abra-abra-cadabra
Abracadabra

I cross-over step down the stage steps and out into the audience. I walk over to Miranda who has just entered. My hand lifts her chin to look at me then I run my gloved hand over her cheek as I lean forward, my lips near her cheek bone.
You make me hot, you make me sigh
You make me laugh, you make me cry
Keep me burnin’ for your love
With the touch of a velvet glove

Nicolas and Laurent remain on the stage singing, perfect backup.
Abra-abra-cadabra
I want to reach out and grab ya
Abra-abra-cadabra
Abracadabra

Miranda's hand comes up and is placed on my arm. I step back, grabbing her hand in mine and pull her slowly up to the stage. My hand moves down to rest on her hip, the other hand puts the fedora on her head with a wink.
I feel the magic in your caress
I feel magic when I touch your dress
Silk and satin, leather and lace
Black panties with an angel’s face

As we pass their table, I look over at Eleni and Vittorio and smile knowingly, a slight nod of my head.
I see magic in your eyes
I hear the magic in your sighs
Just when I think I’m gonna get away
I hear those words that you always say

Eleni gets up and walks over to Miranda and I, I help both ladies onto the stage, one arm around each of their waists and Nicolas and Laurent walk off the sides of the stage singing.
Abra-abra-cadabra
I want to reach out and grab ya
Abra-abra-cadabra
Abracadabra

I look from Miranda to Eleni and back. I put one hand to my heart as I lean back slightly, my hand then extends upward and a red spotlight shines down on me.
Every time you call my name
I heat up like a burnin’ flame
Burnin’ flame full of desire
Kiss me baby, let the fire get higher

I grab both ladies and twirl each in opposite directions then pull them both back against me. The hand not in mind rests on my chest. I step toward Eleni and slide my body down hers then stand back up and look over my shoulder as Miranda leans against me. Back behind the drums the lighting effects look like dancing flames.

The white spotlight with the hypnotic swirls begins to shine on the floor again around us as we continue to dance.
I heat up, I can’t cool down
My situation goes ’round and ’round
I heat up, I can’t cool down
My situation goes ’round and ’round
I heat up, I can’t cool down
My situation goes ’round and ’round

As the music comes to a close Miranda puts the fedora back on my head and I drop my head, looking at the ground as both ladies bring their knee up and rest them against my body, leaning into me.
