lyrics

Magician Reese appears on State Street
In a great wax bubble
It seems to grow out of the sidewalk
And when it's whole he walks around
Performing card tricks

The people stand amazed
And with that smile she hands out pamphlets
Her hand brushes mine but she shows no sign
Anyway it's a stupid trick
Sixty dollars and you too can own
A giant balloon and a can of wax and a cheap tuxedo

Don't talk to me of fabulous feats
And grand presentation
'Cause it's all been done and she's the reason
For this publication
Magic's secrets finally revealed

A concrete block is poised to drop on a Chrysler
Reese is trapped inside, tied
She paints her face with phony anticipation and pulls the velvet rope
The noise and blood are shocking
Well the truth is the knots were fake
And Reese escaped through a false seat cushion
And was replaced by a magician of lesser quality

Don't talk to me of his artistry
When I know he's faking
'Cause it's all been done and I'm looking on
And she has been taken
Magic's secrets finally revealed

Burt Easley knows how easy it is
Fox TV knows how easy it is
The truth is out and you're still with him
And the audience doesn't dwindle or thin
But we three know he's a third-rate hack
Who somehow pulled a rabbit out of my magic hat
The one small par tof his repertoire
That I can't best him at
Is when the dove falls in love with the rat

Don't talk to me of fabulous feats
Unless you're joking
'Cause it's all been done and she's the reason
That my heart's broken
Magic's secrets finally revealed
