Sword Box

[00:26.99] What kind of bastion of trust
[00:28.03] Hit the stage with a straight face and jacket full of doves?
[00:31.18] Where daisy-chained hankies vanish into plastic thumbs
[00:34.21] It was classic misdirection sold as magic to the young
[00:37.76] Via masters of deception
[00:38.95] The full force court of volunteer
[00:41.46] Pull a quarter out his ear in a recession
[00:43.62] Pull a rabbit from a Stetson as a rapper
[00:47.95] Though it's basically the same exact profession
[00:50.23] Watch, con artists give a fuck who the mark is
[00:53.22] Whether gorgeous or New Yorkers through the eye of Diane Arbus
[00:56.54] No outstanding warrants, nothing up his sleeve
[00:59.60] I need you feeling weak and needing something to believe
[01:02.90] I need you feeling freakish, that's when I really flourish
[01:05.82] I wake up in a sword box, I brush my teeth with bullets
[01:08.92] Underneath some cosmic retrograde
[01:11.53] Where patsies get their signals flipped
[01:12.69] Hold on to your crystal pouch step up to the thimble rig
[01:16.18] And for my next trick
[01:18.47] I'll make a dollar bill climb up out your wallet
[01:20.86] Disappear and reappear inside my pocket
[01:23.50] I never really do these things twice
[01:25.63] But if y'all ask nice I just might
[01:27.74] If y'all ask nice I just might
[01:37.66] If y'all ask nice I just might
[01:40.59] It goes scarves into wands
[01:41.98] Into flowers over common sense
[01:43.50] I'm all heart, rib cage housing a Svengali deck
[01:46.79] Pick a card, tricky
[01:48.36] Turn a vic' into a bobblehead
[01:49.74] Absconders into clingers-on
[01:51.39] Klingons into Romulans
[01:52.99] Saw myself in pieces for purveyors of the strange
[01:55.63] Put the pieces back together, though I'm never quite the same
[01:59.00] We undermine the infantry where trickery let range
[02:02.16] From weighted dice to blowup dolls up in the carpool lane
[02:05.19] I'm charcoal with the art school lames
[02:07.37] I'm skateboarding with heshers
[02:08.79] Seen scepters shaped like feather pens and '57 fenders
[02:10.84] Carving knives and camera parts and canvas over stretchers
[02:14.90] And whatever make the project in the cellar go Excelsior
[02:18.31] At the way my older bones that magically predict the weather
[02:20.00] He like his eye on loot with pinch of pepper
[02:24.42] The nerd rage scurry out a collapsible bird cage
[02:27.52] Ace in the palm at the workplace, jerkface
[02:32.50] And for my next trick
[02:33.63] I'll make a dollar bill climb up out your wallet
[02:36.26] Disappear and reappear inside my pocket
[02:38.90] I never really do these things twice
[02:40.82] But if y'all ask nice I just might
[02:46.42] If y'all ask nice I just might
[02:52.95] If y'all ask nice I just might
[03:00.12] If y'all ask nice I just might
[03:06.16] If y'all ask nice I just might
[03:12.60] If y'all ask nice I just might
[03:18.39] If y'all ask nice I just might
[03:25.35] If y'all ask nice I just might
[03:31.28] If y'all ask nice I just might
[03:36.29] If y'all ask nice I just might
[03:40.45]
