Please ensure, my friends, that this is a regular card deck
And I have nothing in my sleeves
Choose a card, keep it secret
Let me shuffle the whole thing
As my hands start to dance, fast and faster, like in trance
Lock your look on spades and hearts, stare and gaze to track the cards
Concentrate ‘till you feel sick, find the cues to crack the trick
All these eyes try hard to see, all your minds belong to me
(As my hands, easy and slick, start to shuffle double-quick)
The prey follows the bite
The trap is hiding in plain sight
It is plain like the nose on your face
And you’re not blind indeed
But only when you stand before a mirror
And find out new things on the most familiar face
As you start wondering how long they’ve been there
You do realize that there has always been a difference, a difference
Do you realize that there has always been a difference, a difference between
Look and see
Look and see
A jigsaw puzzle is hard to complete
If you keep looking at just one piece
As my hands perform their trick, my friends
Keep on trying to understand
Not one of you shall turn his head
As your eyes and minds belong to me
Try to ignore the midget stealing all your wallets
Focus hard and you might get a fix
Please be so polite that not a single glance
is given to the girl who’s putting rabbits in my top hat for my next trick
