Disappearing Act

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

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

Of a disappearing act, of a disappearing act

Oh, of a disappearing act
