Secret Theatre Lyrics

I've seen a trick or two in my life
Yea, I've seen a trick or two
But a common theme in deceiving machines is the point of which you see through

I've seen a trick or two in my life
Yea, I've seen a trick or two
But as far as I know you only show the things that make you seem true

Its words were long and twisted
Like his shadow in the night
And as Lucifer lit the lanterns
Shown over his pen in flight

Corpus was a century where he first learned to spin the word
But beyond the walls lay riches
But his taste much preferred

I've seen a trick or two in my life
Yea, I've seen a trick or two
But a common theme in deceiving machines is the point of which you see through

I've seen a trick or two in my life
Yea, I've seen a trick or two
But as far as I know you only show the things that make you seem true

While singing came the calling
Inspired them to create
So we dropped the pen and he fled insteadBlair Dunlop - Secret Theatre - http://motolyrics.com/blair-dunlop/secret-theatre-lyrics.html
Over the Cambridge gates

A cool head on his shoulders
And if I pull easy hand
Corpus lay in the shadows
While it fought for the English brand

Come quick as the crimson pours
Face down in it, every bar
But the slice of fries is blade, seems to me to be all too bizarre

Either way, the bill got paid
Then my little pain is due
And I'd have swallowed the whole damn lot
Had I not seen a trick or two

Some say he chanced his luck
The next day that ensured the bound
Venus and Adonis, chance there's two
And headed back the other way around

Panning in the Venetian sun
It's brown, not even scarred
Almost as hard to believe
As the very notion of his drop foot bard

I've seen a trick or two in my life
I've seen a trick or two in my life
