The Assistant

Step inside this magic tent
Seven wonders, fifty cents
Watch the man without a face
Disappear without a trace
You can't manage by yourself
I am just the girl to help
You're no good at telling lies
Your hands are quicker than your eyes
But do you see what I see
Do you see what I see
Do you see what I see
Aren't you such a clever man
Showing off your slight of hand
Well everyone knows you're not true
They blindly play along with you
But you don't hear what I hear
You don't hear what I hear
You don't hear what I hear
Stick a pin in it
Come on, he's asking for it
Stick a pin it
Come on, he's asking for it
You keep your slate left very clean
For blades that split a girl in three
I just wink and smile and wave
Left in pieces there for days
But I know something you don't
I know something you don't
I know something you don't
Stick a pin in it
Come on, he's asking for it
Stick a pin in it
Come on, he's asking for it
Stick a pin in it
I'm getting sick of this and
I can't stand lights and
I can't stand the sight of blood
Stick a fork it
Hey honey, picture this
They're gonna love this one
They're gonna eat it up
Stick a pin in it
I'm getting sick from this
I want my mom and dad
To get a new assistant
To get a new assistant
To get a new assistant
To get a new assistant
To get a new assistant
