Disappearing Act
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.
Some say you've got to lose to win
Any moment now
Our luck will stumble in
And claim us at the lost and found
And help us all get our feet back on the ground
Disappearing act
I want my money back
Disappearing act
I wish life had warned us long ago
We're only one half of a disappearing act
Who pulled the rug out under us?
Maybe all the time
In the world ain't quite enough
One day you're saying "Look Ma, no hands"
Then it's "Help me Ma, I just don't understand"
Disappearing act
I want my childhood back
Disappearing act
I wish life had warned us long ago
We're on the wrong half of a disappearing act
Oh and when you hear "The Saints Go Marching In"
As you're walking down your street again
No magic wand can make it stop
And as your house of cards comes crashing down
So loud it makes you turn around
Look longer
Think harder now
Some say you've got to lose to win
Any moment now
Our luck will stumble in
And claim us at the lost and found
And help us all get our feet back on the ground
Disappearing act
I want my money back
Disappearing act
I wish life had warned us long ago
We're on the wrong half of a disappearing act
