The Disillusionist - The Church[00:00:00]

Written by：Kilbey/Koppes/Wilson/Piper/Daugherty[00:00:00]

In autumn he comes to this town[00:00:55]

When the peoples guard is down[00:00:57]

On a day like today[00:01:00]

Overcast and gray[00:01:04]

Bells were all ringing[00:01:06]

The birds stopped their singing[00:01:09]

The wind caught in the trees[00:01:12]

Screaming to be free[00:01:15]

He alights from the platform[00:01:18]

In his usual uniform[00:01:22]

His skin looks like he slept in it[00:01:24]

Or had something rotten kept in it[00:01:27]

And snakes stir in the thistles[00:01:30]

Back of cats neck bristles[00:01:33]

Round vicious lips the fur is stained[00:01:36]

The disillusionist is back again[00:01:39]

They say that he's famous[00:01:42]

From the waist down[00:01:45]

But the top half of his body is a corpse[00:01:48]

His gold won't buy him sleep[00:01:54]

His poverty runs so deep[00:01:57]

In winter he cracks in summer he warps[00:02:00]

Hang around the backstage door[00:02:06]

But he knows what you're waiting for[00:02:09]

You rub yourself against his fame[00:02:12]

Already ready to bear the blame[00:02:15]

He asks you did you like my show[00:02:18]

As if he really wants to know[00:02:21]

Then doesn't wait for your reply[00:02:24]

He just pulls you back inside[00:02:27]

You've started feeling dizzy[00:02:30]

It isn't you or is he[00:02:33]

Persuade you mentally[00:02:37]

Undress you incidentally[00:02:39]

Down the swaying corridor[00:02:42]

People you feel sorry for[00:02:45]

But when he puts the gaze on you[00:02:48]

You're amazed at what you'll let him do[00:02:51]

They say that he's famous[00:02:54]

From the waist down[00:02:57]

But the top half of his body is a corpse[00:02:59]

His gold won't buy him sleep[00:03:06]

His poverty runs so deep[00:03:09]

In winter he cracks in summer he warps[00:03:11]

He can turn wine into water[00:04:05]

Mother against daughter[00:04:08]

Juggles busy deadlines[00:04:12]

Gets himself off headlines[00:04:15]

Surrounded by his minions[00:04:18]

Who never have opinions[00:04:21]

Performing little tricks for you[00:04:24]

Puts it in a fix for you[00:04:27]

Smashes your watch with a hammer[00:04:30]

Caresses you with camera[00:04:32]

And says the magic words[00:04:35]

That nobody's ever heard[00:04:38]

Now the slur is fading[00:04:42]

Reality all pervading[00:04:44]

It only makes you want him more[00:04:47]

It only makes you fawn him more[00:04:50]

They say that he's famous[00:04:53]

From the waist down[00:04:56]

But the top half of his body is a corpse[00:04:59]

His gold won't buy him sleep[00:05:05]

His poverty runs so deep[00:05:08]

In winter he cracks in summer he warps[00:05:11]

And he does the indian rope trick[00:05:17]

The one that makes you seasick[00:05:20]

And he keeps on filling up your cup[00:05:23]

You keep on filling up[00:05:27]

And some of it's done with mirrors[00:05:29]

And some of it's done with scissors[00:05:32]

And some of it's done with cables[00:05:35]

And his hands under the table[00:05:37]

It doesn't matter you want to believe[00:05:41]

It doesn't matter if you have to leave[00:05:45]

You won't escape his orbit[00:05:48]

And the things that you must forfeit[00:05:50]

And the audience seems familiar[00:05:53]

Some of them in particular[00:05:56]

Bet you they are his plants[00:05:59]

When he plays the game of chance[00:06:01]

He reads the minds of jilted girls[00:06:05]

And the story really unfurls[00:06:08]

Cast a fortune for the man in the suit[00:06:11]

Who's suffering is very acute[00:06:14]

There's a rabbit in his hat[00:06:17]

But I thought I smelled a rat[00:06:20]
