The Great Escape

Am I still here? Am I hidden from your sight?
Did I suddenly expire; did I walk into the light?
But maybe there is time; one more trick up my sleeve
There is still so much to say
Can anybody hear me?

I'm suffocating can't you hear me shout
Wrapped up in soft voices like a reverential shroud
I'm suffocationg can't you hear me cry
A constant flow of faces on parade before my eyes.

Can anybody hear me? So much to say
The secrets I have kept stories from the good old days
Can anybody hear me? So much to say
The politics of people and the ganes we choose to play.

This is not a coma I a resting my eyes
Tired of the noise and scared of the lies
But for one night only I will capticate you all
With one last piece of magig ... One last miracle.

I'm suffocating - can't you hear me scream?
As you stab me in the arm in search of somewhere good to bleed
I'm suffocating - can't you hear my prayers?
A rain of gentle hands trying hard to show they care.

I could fly so high and free - if my soul wasn't anchored to me
I've got one last show I have to do
And my powers of illusion will amaze and puzzle you
Pull the rabbit from an old and battered hat
Cut the lady into pieces, just like that
I will mesmerize and dramatize and obfuscate
And i'll finisch with undoubtedly the greatest the greatest escape!

Can anybody hear me? Am I hidden from your sight?
Did I suddenly expire; did I walk into the light?
Can anybody hear me? Am I hidden from your sight?
Did you see me turn to stone, or go missing in the night?
Can anybody hear me? Can anybody hear me?
Did I suddenly expire; did I walk into the light?
Can anybody hear me? Can anybody hear me?
Have I turned into a statue, or gone missing in the night?
Can anybody hear me?
