lyrics

Have I just woken up from the grand illusion?
Forgive me if I am wrong but did reality just intrude?
Have I been incredibly blind,
or too stupid enough to find,
evidence for the very thing that you've just proved?

Have I just seen the old man behind the curtain?
The wizard's robes with the price tag still attached?
Have I just really seen,
How they made the Emerald City green?
Behind the smoke and mirrors have you finally met your match?

So you wanna be the man on the TV
doing tricks nobody believes,
well, nothing you do is ever gonna impress me.
Your smug faced satisfaction
may lead the others to a subtle distraction
But these eyes spied
And broke your spell on me.

You can point your camera at me
but don't expect me to look surprised.
You can play the film backwards in the hope of a happy ending.
Am I wrong or was I right?
Was there a crime committed by candlelight?
I'm finding it hard to believe I was hypnotised.

So you wanna be the man on the TV...
