lyrics

JERICHO

you had the greatest disappearing act
since the carnival left town,
but i don't even need to see you though,
i already know how it goes

stood up in front of a crowd,
fell down like jericho

but all you wanted was a one trick pony
to jump through hoops, it's all for you
was i the sideshow to your magic show?
i already know, i already know

stood up in front of a crowd,
fell down like jericho

i found out that it wasn't real
i'm not gonna stay for the second act
when i get up to leave and pass you by
put away your teeth, don't smile

i'll pretend i don't see you, walk on by
you a metal belly trick with rings of fire

explode, you the fourth of july
sparkle up there in front of our eyes
burn out across the sky
put the light up on your disguise

stood up in front of a crowd,
fell down like jericho
