"the magic trick"
Hanson

You don't understand
I was so looking forward
To coming out of my shell
But now, it's over
Everybody's gone home
And again I'm here alone

I wanted to be
Something truly amazing, this year
But now we'll never know
(now will we)
There is nothing to reap
Because there's nothing I sowed, this year
I showed you nothing
Now everybody's gone home
My theater's empty
For the magic trick
I was so ready to pull

It's called the amazing,
disappearing, reappearing soul (I know!)
Of Wonder
But wait just a minute
And you'll see it first
How it hurts, so bad
To be back in this position again
(It's last year's)
See how the Black Spot's reappearing
And the soul is disappearing-
-It's yearly

I told you-it's an amazing show
But you miss everything, so
It's no wonder that you don't know
How I was so looking forward
To finally breaking my shell
But I fell, off stage
And the show's on someone else, now
And everybody's gone home
So I do magic tricks by phone
(And their charging)

I wanted to be
Something truly amazing
But my theater's empty
Everybody went home
-There's no one left
For the magic trick -
I was so ready to pull
