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 instead 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
