Your tale is not quite as old as time
Don't act surprised well are you out tonight
I've read the script and I've heard the score
That won't stop you once more
The mirrors got a tale to tell
Why does it play for a different side
That one won't go down too well
For reason it's left undefined
Wisdoms lost in a shimmering fog
Your judgements just got up and gone
As hope's turned up to masquerade
As something you must entertain
Don't let reason intervene
It does not know a thing
Don't let yourself be deceived
It's not the only way
Don't let caution take a grip
It always seems to stick
Don't let it tie the strings
They're all part of the trick
She's put the warning light behind a blackout blind
And soundproofed the alarms
She'll make the unrelenting change their mind
And leave with them arm in arm
Excuse us all as we pick up our jaws
Though I'm sure that's nothing new
And don't mind us all as we collect our thoughts
They revolve all around you
Don't let reason intervene
It does not know a thing
Don't let yourself be deceived
It's not the only way
Don't let caution take a grip
It always seems to stick
Don't let it tie the strings
They're all part of the trick
