lyrics

She's a mystery in stilettos
She's written in free verse
She could be the queen of anything
If they made a crown for her

The illusionist was sleeping
When he woke up in fear
When he saw that she could truly
Make things disappear

So God is evolution
How else could I stand upright?
For if apes we were this morning
We'll be angels by tonight

The illusionist was dreaming
Of a casino deck of cards
That's when she slipped past him
And kidnapped all the stars

Too proud to say he never saw it coming
Before his eyes he could see his world crumbling in
And he knew that the only illusion was his

The illusionist was wand'ring
A little aimlessly
When he found the crowns he'd made her
Hanging on a tree

Too proud to say he never saw it coming
Before his eyes he could see his world crumbling in
And he knew that the only illusion was his
