The Turn

The magician's assistant is
here, cut in three. 

I am the famed magician.
I am the one you came to see. 

This is my first and only show.
The rumors move fast and I move slow. 

I don't try to compete with time.
My tricks are real and I don't lie.  

Here is the greatest trick I know: 
What you came to see.
My assistant cut in three.

Be a good sport and 
volunteer. 

And don't worry about any 
piercing pain.

And don't dream about any 
artistic fame.

As far as I know you are just a prop.

And these people out there,
they are rooting you drop. 

The touch of 
death is nice and soft.

Volunteer. 
Be a good sport.

Here's the greatest truth I know:
My tricks are real and my 
magic frail.

The lady that I cut in three
will never be.
