CHRIS CORNELL - Disappearing Act lyrics

rate me

Come on now the curtain is drawn

And tomorrow stands before you

Dressed and draped in a cold black cape

lLke 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

Build and tear it down

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

Build and tear it down

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

Fom under your pillows

Through open windows

And out on the rails

And we build and tear it down

Build and tear it down

Build and tear it down

With barely the time to say

How did it get so late

I'll never know
