Disappearing Act Lyrics - Carry On - Chris Cornell

come on now the curtain is drawn 

and tomorrow stands before you 

dressed and draped in a cold black cape 

like a crow he ignores you 

look again there's a beautiful girl 

covers sin in a holy land shroud 

it's the great disappearing act 

done again for the marveled crowd 

as we're chasing our tails 

and biting our nails 

so strong and frail 

and we build and tear it down 

with barely the time to say 

how did it get so late 

i'll never know

step outside and now the doors open wide 

and the minions are eager to find him 

put a million miles under your heals 

and you're still behind him 

cover your clocks with your chains and your locks 

while the seasons get hotter and colder 

stretch your faces and lie about your ages 

and still you're going to get older 

as we're chasing our tails 

and biting our nails 

so strong and frail 

and we build and tear it down 

with barely the time to say 

how did it get so late 

i'll never know

hang on till your fingers break 

and your hands unwind 

he will escape you every time 

from under your pillows 

through open windows 

and out on the rails 

and we build and tear it down 

with barely the time to say 

how did it get so late 

i'll never know
