Lyrics
[Verse 1] Through the hoops and secret panels Down the Slip and Slide Faith finds a way to the other side But you are tempted to be clever This seems to do the trick Pick a number, you've got a thousand shticks [Pre-Chorus 1] But certain crowds are tough Someone has called your bluff Your timing's out of step You drown in your own sweat [Chorus] You've become a fire-walker And work the center ring But you never learn to walk on water 'Cause you can't pull any strings [Post-Chorus 1] They pardon you when you leave A few cards up your sleeve [Verse 2] You wear a beard, a magic turban Charm and hypnotize Handle snakes, take flying carpet rides Trap doors and wires, smoke and mirrors Tools of the wonder trade False-bottom trunks conceal the big charade [Pre-Chorus 2] It's taken years to learn How not to crash and burn There's little glory in Just learning how to swim [Chorus] You've become a fire-walker And work the center ring But you never learn to walk on water 'Cause you can't pull any strings [Post-Chorus 2] You conceal, misdirect Disappear, stack the deck [Guitar Solo] [Verse 3] Jump and tumble, hurdy-gurdy That's the Confidence Man A little truth, a little sleight of hand [Pre-Chorus 3] Sometimes we grasp the truth When we have lost our youth Sometimes we live and die Still clinging to a lie [Chorus] You've become a fire-walker And work the center ring But you never learn to walk on water 'Cause you can't pull any strings [Post-Chorus 3] Someone's laughing, someone knows You're not wearing any clothes [Outro] Still I am tempted to be clever This seems to do the trick
