Sleight of Hand - Calvin Love

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
