Uneasy Lies The Head Of The Confidence Man Paroles

But you are tempted to be clever
This seems to do the trick
Pick a number, you've got a thousand schticks
But certain crowds are tough
Someone has called your bluff
Your timing's out of step
You drown in your own sweat
You've become a fire-walker
And work the center ring
But you never learn to walk on water
'Cos you can't pull any strings
They pardon you when you leave
A few cards up your sleeve
You wear a beard, a magic turban
Charm & hypnotize
Handle snakes, take flying carpet rides
Trap doors and wires, smoke and mirrors--
(tools of the wonder trade)--
False-bottom trunks conceal the big charade
It's taken years to learn Disappear, stack the deck
Jump and tumble, hurdy gurdy
That's the Confidence Man
A little truth, a little sleight of hand
Sometimes we grasp the truth
When we have lost our youth
Sometimes we live and die
Still clinging to a lie
Someone's laughing, someone knows
You're not wearing any clothes
Still I am tempted to be clever
This seems to do the trick
