Lyrics
The Secret
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Just a little bit of the intricate
Hands moving on the sly
Watch my very quick and magical trick
It's much faster than the eye
(And if you blink, you'll miss it, rightly so)
And you know many try to figure it all alone
They don't get it
(Don't look away from me)
You won't get it
(Don't look away from me)
I might have something up my sleeve
(That challenges your beliefs)
Don't ever look away from me
If you wanna know the secret
Sorry, can't resist giving fate a twist
But no-one needs to be afraid
No mirrors or wires and no flash of fire
It's well within your gaze
(And if you blink you'll miss it, rightly so)
And you know life's too hard to figure out all alone
You won't get it
(Don't look away from me)
You won't get it
(Don't look away from me)
I might have something up my sleeve
(That challenges your beliefs)
Don't ever look away from me
If you ever want to know the secret
If you ever want to know the secret
(Can't look away from you)
You won't get it
(Don't look away from me)
I might have something up my sleeve
(That challenges your beliefs)
Don't ever look away from me
If you ever want to know the secret
(If you ever wanna know the secret)
(If you ever want to know the secret)
