"Magic"

I listened to Keys of the Kingdom yester-day, and this morning I figured out the chords for "Magic."  In doing so, I discovered something I wouldn't have found otherwise.  The song is in E major, but under the line "I'm in a state of permanent confusion," the chord progression moves to an F# major, which contains an A# accidental.  This foreign tonality musically mirrors that "confusion."
