Standing outside in the rain Steady in his habits like a magician’s rabbit With the silver tucked deep in his name The rattle and the rabble and the incessant babble Come closer he’s a pawn in your game The scheming and the dreaming and the scheming and the dreaming All the places he’s been to All the courses eaten through Right? Call your neighbors and call your friends This is where all the fun will end Right? (chorus) Bet it all Since there’s nothing to lose Bare it all Like a diamond shone through Street electric static and a phantom in the attic Let the girls walk on Just let the girls walk on Maybe there’s fortune and fame A sucker every minute every minute is a tick closer to Blowing up Parliament Lane Powder in the tunnels in the wigs the over under is the Silver tucked deep in his name The scheming and the dreaming all the scheming and the dreaming All he’s said that he’s meant to you All he said that he meant to do Right? When you’re shook of the last of the bends This is where all the fun begins Right? (chorus) When you’re shook of the last of the bends This is where all the fun begins Right? (chorus) Clear and tall An eclipse of the moon Turning blood red too soon

Will you open your heart? Will you let us in? Will you make a start? Will you open your arms? Will you hold us close? Breathing in the sparks Are chance and luck just dark and shade? All schemes and dreams are just a masquerade, just a hiding place Till the days run out Show her your plans and watch her laugh Fold up your maps until you lose your path, till the stars shine back And the ink runs out I kept the letters that you wrote to me Tied up in string Like precious things Is there a distance we can’t cross from here Where nothing’s clear Will you open your heart?
