The Disillusionist
4
In autumn he comes to this town
5
When the peoples guard is down
6
On a day like today
7
Overcast and gray
8
Bells were all ringing
9
The birds stopped their singing
10
The wind caught in the trees
11
Screaming to be free
12
He alights from the platform
13
In his usual uniform
14
His skin looks like he slept in it
15
Or had something rotten kept in it
16
And snakes stir in the thistles
17
Back of cats neck bristles
18
'round vicious lips the fur is stained
19
The disillusionist is back again
20
They say that he's famous from the waist down
21
But the top half of his body is a corpse
22
His gold won't buy him sleep
23
His poverty runs so deep
24
In winter he cracks, in summer he warps
25
Hang around the backstage door
26
But he knows what you're waiting for
27
You rub yourself against his fame
28
Already ready to bear the blame
29
He asks you "did you like my show?"
30
As if he really wants to know
31
Then doesn't wait for your reply
32
He just pulls you back inside
33
You've started feeling dizzy
34
It isn't you or is he
35
Persuade you mentally
36
Undress you incidentally
37
Down the swaying corridor
38
People you feel sorry for
39
But when he puts the gaze on you
40
You're amazed at what you'll let him do
41
He can turn wine into water
42
Mother against daughter
43
Juggles busy deadlines
44
Gets himself off headlines
45
Surrounded by his minions
46
Who never have opinions
47
Performing little tricks for you
48
Puts it in a fix for you
49
Smashes your watch with a hammer
50
Caresses you with camera
51
And says the magic words
52
That nobody's ever heard
53
Now the slur is fading
54
Reality all-pervading
55
It only makes you want him more
56
It only makes you fawn him more
57
And he does the indian rope trick
58
The one that makes you seasick
59
And he keeps on filling up your cup
60
But you keep on filling up
61
And some of it's done with mirrors
62
And some of it's done with scissors
63
And some of it's done with cables
64
And his hands under the table
65
It doesn't matter you want to believe
66
It doesn't matter if you have to leave
67
You won't escape his orbit
68
And the things that you must forfeit
69
And the audience seems familiar
70
Some of them in particular
71
Bet you they are his plants
72
When he plays the game of chance
73
He reads the minds of jilted girls
74
And the story really unfurls
75
Cast a fortune for the man in the suit
76
Who's suffering is very acute
77
There's a rabbit in his hat
78
But i thought i smelled a rat
