_ [Dm] _ _ _ [Bb] In autumn he comes to this town, people's got us down.
[F] A day like today, _ [Dm] _ overcast and grey.
[Bb] The bells were a-ringing, the start they're singing.
_ [F] We climb the trees, [D] screaming to be free.
[Bb] He lies on the platform, in his usual uniform.
[F] His skin looks like a slant and it [Dm] has something wrong kept here.
[Bb] The snakes are in the thistle, the black cat-necks whistles.
[F] Round vicious lips, the fur is [Dm] stained.
Disillusionist back!
[Am] Say that it's famous, from the [Dm] waist down.
[Am] Top half of his body, it is a corpse.
_ [Gm] His skull won't buy him [Am] sleep, [Dm] his burden runs so [Bb] deep.
[C] Him, Linda, he [Am] cracks in some [D] of you all.
_ [Bb] We hang around the backstage door, he knows what you're waiting for.
[F] You rub yourself against his pain, already ready to bear the [Bb] blame.
He asks you, did you like my show?
As if he really wants to [F] know me.
Doesn't wait for your reply, [Dm] he just throws you back inside.
[Bb] The star is feeling dizzy, it isn't you or is he?
[F] _ Persuades you mentally, [Dm] undresses you incidentally.
[Bb] Down the swaying corridor, the people you're so sorry for.
[F] But when he puts the keys in, [Dm] you're amazed at what you let in.

_ _ [D] _ _ [C] _ He [Bb] can turn wine into water, mother against daughter.
[F]
Juggles busy headlines, gets himself on deadlines.
[Bb]
Surrounded by his minions, they never have opinions. _
[F] Performing little tricks for you here.
[Dm] Puts it in a fix for you, then [Bb] he smashes your waist.
The hammer caresses you on camera.
[F] And says the magic words, _ [Dm] nobody's ever heard.
[Bb] And now the star is fading, reality all pervaded.
[F] It only makes you want to go, [Dm] only makes you want [Am] to.
Say that it's famous, from the waist [Dm] down.
[Am] Top half of his body, it is a corpse. _
[Dm] _ [Am] His skull won't buy him sleep, [D] his burden runs so [Bb] deep.
[E] Him, Linda, he [Am] cracks in some of you [Dm] all.
_ [Bb] He turns the Indian road trip, the one that makes you seasick.
[F] You keep on filling up your cup, [Dm] you keep on filling up.
[Bb] And some of it's done with mirrors, some of it's done with scissors.
[Dm] And some of it's done [F] with cables and his [D] hands on a table.
[Bb] It doesn't matter if you want to leave, it doesn't matter if you have to [F] leave.
You can't escape his orbit, the [D] things that you must forfeit.
[Bb] The audience seemed familiar, [C] some of them in particular.
[F] I bet [Dm] you they are his plants, where he plays the games of chance.
And [Bb] he reads the mind of the jilted girl, whose [Ab] problems really [Gm] unfurl.
And he solves a fortune for the man in the suit, [D] whose suffering is very acute.
There's a rabbit in his hat, but I thought I smelled a rat.
The fire is just cellophane, the _ disillusionist is back again.
