I want to vanish
|
This is my fondest wish
|
To go where I cannot be captured
|
Laid on a decorated dish
|
Even in splendor this curious fate
|
Is more than I care to surrender
|
Now it's too late
|
|
Whether in wonder or indecent haste
|
You arrange the mirrors and the spools
|
To snare the rare and precious jewels
|
That were only made of paste
|
|
If you should stumble upon my last remark
|
I'm crying in the wilderness
|
I'm trying my best to make it dark
|
How can I tell you I'm rarer than most
|
I'm certain as a lost dog
|
Pondering a sign post
|
|
Chorus
|
|
I want to vanish
|
This is my last request
|
I've given you the awful truth
|
Now give me my rest
|
|
