Lex Zaleta songs
Forty years of doing professional magic, and I never did a song about it ... until now ...
NOW YOU SEE HER, NOW I DON?T
It all started with those playing cards
That weren?t made in these United States.
Second dealt yourself the queen of hearts;
Bottom dealt me those aces and eights.
Fifty-two weeks in every year;
Fifty-two cards in every deck.
You discarded me, the joker here;
Left me a 52-pick-up wreck.
Sorcery on demand,
Some subtle sleight of hand,
Some smoke and mirrors,
Slight smell of brimstone ?
Now you see her ?
Now I don?t.
Put me in that substitution trunk
Where we were supposed to change places,
But I?m still tangled in chains and junk;
You and she are off to the races.
Yeah, I?m locked in while you?re running free;
You think you?ll end up better than me.
I guess your guess is as good as mine
If you?ll ever reach that finish line.
Sorcery on demand,
Some subtle sleight of hand,
Some smoke and mirrors,
Slight smell of brimstone,
Now you see her ?
Now I don?t.
You were the one who sawed us in two
And never put us back together.
A neat new trick created by you,
And you couldn?t have done it better.
Pulling a rabbit out of a hat,
Great balls of fire from your fingertips -
Opening night?s gonna feel like that
When you hold her close and kiss her lips.
Sorcery on demand,
Some subtle sleight of hand,
Some smoke and mirrors,
Slight smell of brimstone,
Now you see her ?
Now I don?t.
You came on all tall, dark, and mannish;
Did some heart-to-heart levitation.
Can?t believe how quick love can vanish.
You deserve a standing ovation.
Some smoke and mirrors,
Slight smell of brimstone,
Now you see her ?
Now I don?t.
Now you see her ?
