lyrics
Four months and seventeen days
Since the grand reveal of Francisco the Great
And while showcases promise that wonder awaits
He wonders if now is the time
Criss-crossing lavender stripes
Match the flip of his cape to the flare of the lights
But the vanishing act he’s performing tonight
Is one trick that they’ve never seen
Oh, Fransisco!
Where did this go
That you missed the mark on me?
Your illusions
Just confusion
That nobody seems to see
Kids watch with weight in their breath
As the conjuring cryptic comes up from the depths
Bridging the gap between life and his death
Every step that he takes
Quiet and anxious they wait
To discover the mood of the magic man's fate
But now that he realizes it’s much too late
Opens his mouth for a plea
“I have no escape
I have no one else to escape from”
His shameful eyes look away
Awaiting the boos of his viewers’ dismay
He can’t see what they've allowed him to say
And how it allowed them to live
So on the dais of his life
His fanfaring act was a wonder alright
Standing ovations and off with the lights
A night filled with magic again
Oh, Fransisco!
Where did this go
That you missed the mark on me?
Your illusions
Just confusion
That nobody seems to see
Oh Fransisco
Did you not know
The mystique of fallacy?
That illusions
Are confusions
That nobody needs to see
I have no escape
I could not even escape if I wanted
I have no escape
I have no one else to escape from
