FAWM: "The Lady Vanishes"

The Lady Vanishes

There is no demo for this song.

Liner Notes

The end of the month has arrived and I'm not going to be able to record my last few songs before March 1st. So, I'm posting up the lyrics now and will get to the demos when I can; probably this weekend. Between work and other obligations, it just wasn't my year for getting to 14. Oh well, I got eight out of it. I really don't like posting these without demos, but I gotta do what I gotta do.

Cribbed some Steve Miller Band lyrics for this one.

Lyrics

Some sick sleight of hand
Some slick misdirection
A flash of light
A puff of smoke

And the lady vanishes

Never to reappear
I'm left standing there
Looking stunned
Holding her earrings

Tap of the wand
On the spinning sarcophagus
I want to reach out and grab ya
Abracadabra

And the lady vanishes

Never to reappear
I'd do anything
Just to see you
Saw myself in two

One last half-smile and wave
From the slowest procession
The destination uncertain
She steps behind the velvet curtain

And the lady vanishes

Looking forward to hearing this one with music ... good imagery, and I like the borrowed line from Steve Miller! Congrats on completing 8 songs -- that's an accomplishment!
