Lyrics Sleight of Hand - Calvin Love

Sleight of Hand

The time it takes for the wheels to fall off I wonder
Through the echo, cries the laughter of the river
See the valley, city, burning, smoking skies
Cries of anger illuminate their eyes
Did you become the joke you always had to tell
The weak handshake, the crooked teeth behind the smile
Suspended in animation, no one got a plan
Keep your eyes on their action, politician sleight of hand
Uniform against a peacful scene
What action do you take whn believers only dream
Containers of experience, speakers of clarinet kin
How do you survive when everybody’s out to win
From the corner of my mind
The endless walk down the line
The past holds too long
Singing the same ol' tune
Live for today cause
We’ll all be gone soon
