"The Joker's Deal"

Let's get the firsthand

And get things right

I see a bull-eyes in my sight

I tell these secrets to gain your trust

Let's say, nothing is a mystery for us

I have a trick up my sleeve, for everything

We can scape this land and leave nothing behind us

I can clear out rooms, in a single gust

I can hire liars of any size, I have simply nothing to hide

I have any suppliers, you may require to desire

Let's steal from easy prey, so what do you say

So I roll out the slip, eyes strain for the pamphlet

I will preach Hamlet, while I give you your packet

Let these lyrics gather your mind, and your attention too

Eyes start lingering about you

A secret unfolds just like magic,

When I crack it, this Matador's jacket

Take it and wave it, make the bull ballet

Make him suffer in haste

Dance and run with quick grace

Through the skyline cloud's habit

Now close your mind

And rid yourself of all gambits

Into the ring, into the china closet we go

Hand me your doe for safe keeping

Now sit for the show and watch me go pro

We see a bull snorting and bellowing his chest

He jumps like Jack be' Nimble, with a bit of Old Ness

In and out of towers of plates
Now don't make a mess

Will he crash, or take the cake

They ask if how it's done, can be leaked

One man, a few, a many, have stated

For this fine ass chuck and have laid down money

That he'd knock coins and shatter

His chances, and grow to be as cliché as a loser

So they throw down their deals and sell their taboos

But fools were further shown, as tools

And it's all because I have something to spool

Secrets vanish as I raffishly tear down these towers of plates

Full of fluff used as a get-away escape

Known from the beginning, when we sought the already caught

Opportunities that brought me you, then there to help me make my move

Blinded by trust and now abused, I take the lead

So I crash open your doubts

Of the things you dare not say or need

I ravishly shout and command your attention

Before you have time to think, or to make the connections

Did I mention, you lost the bet old man

This trick is as clean as magic

Can you fathom it, that the bull pulled through

Without a single crash, and me...I was all /dash too

I was like Nimble, and just played it cool

Kicked down to all knees, Hamlet here

Crying the size of thimbles

Grabbing your attention, while I pocket your pension

And simply easy the tension

Here is the secret, that has left us cringing for an ending

Leaving our minds in the clouds, and our eyes simply lingering

We get jitters and secrets wither, when we sellout to our bidders

Because it's all done with smoke and mirrors

And none of us can bear it, but can you believe it

We made it clean, we flash our flag signals and get

I do as I do, unraveling this spell from the beginning

It unreeled so eloquently, into my hands

Lathery silk was waved, and the trick was done

And no more is left, to bind me to you

Nothing more blinded you, from the truth

Success of today goes to the show, I tell to soothe

I own a few tricks of my own, and I am on a mission

Vanishing in smoke, they just call me

Magician

So here is my ride, and my end

And to you sir, "good day" my friend

Remember what I recommend

...Suspend...

End
