Sleight Of Hand
How does it happen
I don't know
It's so hard
To understand
Now you see it
Now you don't
Is this a case
Of sleight of hand
Sleight of hand
Somewhere between
All the red rouge
And the subterfuge
Somewhere close
To the loose screws
And the taboos
And the peek-a-boos
You might find
The good news
And the bad news
How does it happen
I don't know
It's so hard
To understand
Now you see it
Now you don't
Is this a case
Of sleight of hand
Sleight of hand
Somewhere between
The fantasy
And the third degree
Somewhere close
To the flattery
And the jealousy
And the mystery
You might see the best
And the worst of me
You might find lie's
Contradictions
Illusions
Confusions
But here it is
My gift to you
Open it with care
We wish you
A merry Christmas
We wish you
A merry Christmas
We wish you
A merry Christmas
And a happy new year
It's so hard
To understand
Now you see it
And now you don't
Is this a case
Of sleight of hand
Sleight of hand
Sleight of hand
