Disappearing Act

[Verse 1] Come on now, the curtain is drawn And tomorrow stands before you Dressed and draped in a coal black cape Like a crow, he ignores you Look again, there's a beautiful girl Covered cinnamon a Holy land smile It's the great disappearing act Done once again for tomorrow As we're chasing our tails Biting our nails So strong and frail [Chorus] And we build and tear down Build and tear down Build and tear down We've run out of time to say How did it get so late I'll never know [Verse 2] Step outside, now the door's open wide And the minons are eager to find him Put a million miles under your heels And you're still behind him Cover your clocks with your chains and your locks While the seasons get hotter and colder Stretch your faces and lie about your ages And still we're gonna get older As we're chasing our tails Biting our nails So strong and frail [Chorus] [Bridge] Hang onto your fingers Making your hands unwind He will escape you every time From under your pillows Through open windows and lie in open willows [Chorus] [Outro] I'll never know I'll never know
