Disappearing Act

[00:15.63] Come on now the curtain is drawn
[00:18.91] And tomorrow stands before you
[00:24.27] Dressed and draped in a cold black cape
[00:27.83] Like a crow he ignores you
[00:36.20] Look again there's a beautiful girl
[00:40.30] Covers sin in a holy land shroud
[00:45.11] It's the great disappearing act
[00:47.59] Done once again for the marveled crowd

[00:54.83] As we're chasing our tails
[00:57.02] And biting our nails
[00:59.22] So strong and frail

[01:03.62] And we build and tear it down
[01:09.89] Build and tear it down
[01:14.53] Build and tear it down
[01:18.54] With barely the time to say
[01:23.10] How did it get so late
[01:27.17] I'll never know

[01:38.95] Step outside and now the doors open wide
[01:43.03] And the minions are eager to find him
[01:48.03] Put a million miles under your heals
[01:52.74] And you're still behind him
[02:00.39] Cover your clocks with your chains and your locks
[02:04.51] While the seasons get hotter and colder

[02:09.99] Stretch your faces and lie about your ages
[02:14.47] And still you're going to get older

[02:19.42] As we're chasing our tails
[02:21.35] And biting our nails
[02:23.67] So strong and frail

[02:28.63] And we build and tear it down
[02:34.19] Build and tear it down
[02:38.74] Build and tear it down

[02:42.74] With barely the time to say
[02:47.30] How did it get so late
[02:51.46] I'll never know
[03:00.47] I'll never know

[03:17.27] Hang on till your fingers break
[03:20.61] And your hands unwind
[03:26.10] He will escape you every time
[03:32.77] From under your pillows
[03:35.01] Through open windows
[03:37.42] And out on the rails

[03:41.54] And we build and tear it down
[03:47.46] Build and tear it down
[03:51.90] Build and tear it down
[03:55.90] With barely the time to say
[04:00.66] How did it get so late
[04:04.62] I'll never know
[04:09.71] I'll never know

[04:20.97] I'll never know
[04:33.46]
