The Illusionist

I'm not obsessed by illusions
Or shining things
To you nothing seems real
Unless you paid for it

My lifeline is wearing thin
In these hollow times
Seems like the bastards are closing in
And I just want to hide

The first trick ladies and gentlemen
What I'd like to try to do is
Make myself disappear completely

You put on a phoney smile
And go buy something nice
Something forced into your mind
And you can't do without

A minor buzz in the media
Just makes it all alright
I don't like to be told
How to live my life

And now my assistant here Mia
Is going to saw me up in two
And we'll see if we can put myself
