Your glamorous assistant I
Watch through fingers
You, holding me in
The palm of your hand
Completely
Chains unbreakable
Underwater, inescapable
I hold my breath
You’ve got new tricks
The suspense is killing me
No more rabbits out of hats
So long, sawing acrobats
Score me down the middle, maybe I’ll fold
Maybe I’ll turn nickel into gold
I will bend and break
Any way that you want me to
Your clamorous curtain calls
Applause at bursted chains
My bait and switch
Unnoticed in your shadows
I’ll spin straw into gold
If you want me say the word
For you, I’ll put my head
In the mouth of a lion
The frustration is killing me
No more rabbits out of hats...
