The Magician Lyrics

by Jason Isbell

You watch every move
And call it slight of hand
You know it's what i do
But never who i am, never who i am

[ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricenter.com/e119965-jason_isbell~the_magician_lyrics.html ]
Started on the street
Cards and dollar bills
Shuffling my feet
Never could be still, never could be still

And i am an orphan man but ain't we all
I can make myself disappear
I am an orphan man but ain't we all
I could be somewhere worse than here

I had a bride
Sawed her in half
Couple people cried
But most of them just laughed, most of them just laughed

And i had a son
Strong of hand and will
Taught him how to run
But never how to steal, never how to steal

I am an orphan man but ain't we all
I can't make myself reappear
I am an orphan man but ain't we all
I hope there's somewhere worse than here

I was called amazing
I make folks believe
With nothing in my pockets
And nothing up my sleeve

I am an orphan man but ain't we all
I can make myself disappear
I am an orphan man but ain't we all
And i know there's somewhere worse than here
Worse than here
Worse than here
