Varying Degrees Of Con-artistry Lyrics - Humming - Duncan Sheik

Promised cures for everyman 

Snake oil and circuses 

You can get to Heaven, yes you can 

So judge the books by their surfaces 

And someone's taking care of business 

The market place is doing fine 

As long as there's no witness 

How can there be a crime 

The illusion is lasting, such beautiful masking 

We hold it in our arms 

It's all just varying degrees of con-artistry 

But no one seems alarmed, no one seems alarmed 

I'll promise love without end 

I'll believe myself, if I can 

And like a baby soft and helpless 

I won't ask questions
