lyrics

The magician sees the magician sees the magician sees the magician,
but the magic lies awake, it lies awake at night.
The magician sees the magician sees the magician sees the magician,
but the magic lies awake, it lies awake at night.

Our vision entrained, we see things disappearing.
Sleight of hand, I mean.
Our judgement’s in a sleeping state,
but the magic lies awake.

The magician sees the magician sees the magician sees the magician,
but the magic lies awake, it lies awake at night.

The magician sees the bunny toe peek out the hat.
The magician knows where not to go, and when people get sick of that.
Magicians deftly drift over the tricks,
nearly killing their assistants in a fancy slip.

The magician sees the magician sees the magician sees the magician,
but the magic lies awake, it lies awake at night.

Entertained by the hands of ‘Your Name Here’ The Great,
our judgment’s in a sleeping state.
But the magic lies awake.
But the magic lies awake!

The magician sees the magician sees the magician sees the magician,
but the magic lies awake, it lies awake at night.
The magician sees the magician sees the magician sees the magician,
but the magic lies awake, it lies awake at night.

Magician voice (simultaneous):

You say I don’t know nature’s laws. Oh but I do! because I’ve studied law... Well I did for the first year, and I took some time off. They said I didn’t have the right judgement for the job...

I read the crowd, I make a study of the laughter and the oohs and ah’s. I have a masterful command over attention and it’s undeniable flaws. I’m the man, and I know what I can pull off.

I soon learned that magic is the everyman’s trade. I like to frequent local restaurants and dazzle all my dates. I have to think about perception every day. You think I’m dealing in deception, that’s ok.

Oh, I know how that trick is done! And I am equally amazed until the day is done.
