You never see me at the side of the show
You never catch the regret
People drawn like moths
To the edge of the globe
Oh a charlatan never forgets
If you want to wish me safety
Then I'll understand, sure I'll understand
But if you want a life like love
That's a tall demand
But I'll understand
Approaching lines start to dazzle my eyes
And the present world begins to burn
It keeps me shining in the September skies
Maybe one day I'll return
If you want to wish me safety
Then I'll understand, sure I'll understand
But if you want a life like love
That's a tall demand
But I'll understand
You never guessed how easy my tricks
I still can't show you how it's done
Empires come crashing and it's all fiddlesticks
It's in the dismal truth we like to shun
If you want to wish me safety
Then I'll understand, sure I'll understand
But if you want a life like love
That's a tall demand
But I'll understand
