Sleight of Hand

Have a seat. The lights went out? It's all in the plans.

I keep the entire stage brighter with my fireball hands.

My secrets are safe. I would never uncover the code.

You might not survive, but that's part of the fun of the show.

Relax. They always say in life, ""Get your mind right.""

It's the same people who claim lightning never strikes twice.

I'll move tectonic plates if it gets me a good review.

Feeling the earth quake for a second is super cool.

I keep my satchel packed with the neatest of tricks.

Like the great Keizer Soze, I don't even exist.

My hip hop instrumentals deliver a hype crowd.

Surprise! You're listening to one of my beats right now.

CHORUS

You know I got tricks

To put on a show

With the sleight of hand

and a solid flow

In the place tonight

With imagery that's tight

and a countenance that's grand

Yes I'm a humble man

But still I got tricks

To engage your mind

With the sleight of hand

I think that you will find

That when you let go

The things that you will see

Will help you to believe the magic

That you have hidden just up your sleeve

SCHcFFER THE DcRKLORD

Ladies and gentlemen, prepare to be astounded

Mesmerized, mystified and all around confounded

Dumbfounded, I will make magic

Nothing's as it seems, including this fake accent

Wait, take a back step, I'll clear up all confusion

Call me Doug Henning 'cause I call it all illusion

Yeah, I can make a hanky vanish, I can make a ball appear

Or I break your freaking brain, but I'ma need a volunteer

Hop up here, inspect this box, ensure there's nothing funny at it

While you're at it, I'll produce a couple dozen bunny rabbits

From my hat, it's magic, man, it's madness, lie inside it, love

I lock it, saw it in half - Tc-Dc! - Look, it's a bunch of doves

Never tip gaffs to rubes or their sons or daughters

Even when shackled in tubes, inverted underwater

I open with the Indian rope trick, I'm so sick

Tell me that I'm dope, I'm like “no shit.”

CHORUS

You know I got tricks

To put on a show

With the sleight of hand

and a solid flow

In the place tonight

With imagery that's tight

and a countenance that's grand

Yes I'm a humble man

But still I got tricks

To engage your mind

With the sleight of hand

I think that you will find

That when you let go

The things that you will see

Will help you to believe the magic

That you have hidden just up your sleeve
