Masterful at magic tricks
With nothing seen up your  sleeve
Slight of hand always in the mix
Every time you up and leave

No band of gold could hold you down
Or mirror revel the truth
This ancient secret can not be found
You're that good at what you do

Is it in the do or in the say
This slight of hand that's come to light
No matter how your wand is waved
You will never quite escape my mind

You could up and saw yourself in two
Then go this way while going that
I must confess this simple truth
I have yet to check behind your back

You do your best to levitate
In the up, up, and away
To broken hearts you can't be chained
All of this your best forte

Hard sometimes to see the signs
The hand being quicker than the eye
Pull back the curtains and you will find
You will never quite escape my mind
