Chris Cornell Disappearing Act
Songwriters: Cornell, Chris;Come on now, the curtain is drawn
And tomorrow stands before you
Dressed and draped in a coal black cape like a crow
He ignores you
Look again, there's a beautiful girl
Covered cinnamon, a holy land smile
It's the great disappearing act
Done once again for tomorrow crowd
As we're chasing our tails
Biting our nails, so strong and frail
And we build and tear down
Build and tear down, build and tear down
We've run out of time to say
How did it get so late? I'll never know
Step outside, now the door's open wide
And the minions are eager to find him
Put a million miles under your heels
And you're still behind him
Cover your clocks with your chains and your locks
While the seasons get hotter and colder
Stretch your faces and lie about your ages
And still, oh, we're gonna get older
As we're chasing our tails
Biting our nails, so strong and frail
And we build and tear down
Build and tear down, build and tear down
We've run out of time to say
How did it get so late? I'll never know
I'll never know
Hang onto your fingers making your hands unwind
He will escape you every time
From under your pillows
Through open windows and out of the veils
And we build and tear down
Build and tear down, build and tear down
We've run out of time to say
How did it get so late? I'll never know
I'll never know, I'll never know
