Disappearing Act Lyrics - Ron Sexsmith

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
