Sleight of Hand lyrics

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

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

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

How does it happen?

I don't know

It's so hard

To understand

Now you see it

Is this a case

Of sleight of hand

Sleight of hand

Sleight of hand

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

Sleight of hand

Sleight of hand

Sleight of hand
