Camilo (The Magician)
Said The Whale
Honestly,
I know you like to keep a mystery,
But there's this girl I know who's sad, you see,
And I'd like to show her life ain't always real.
Camilo, that's where you come in,
My friend.
Show me your secrets, show me all
Of them.
I promise I won't say a word again,
And as long as I'm alive I'll be the best that I can be.
Camilo,
I need to see where you made that card go,
'Cause I've got some questions about the world I know
And about the difference between real and show,
Camilo...
Watch my eyes.
Put a coin in your hand now and
Squeeze real tight.
I'll make both sides heads so when
You decide,
You'll have complete control of your whole life.
Camilo, that's where you
Come in.
Be my assistant, be my right-hand man.
We'll find a place between fact and fiction,
And as long as they don't know we'll be the masters of pretend.
Caroline,
I saw your disbelief.
You're mystified,
Understandably,
And so am I.
Let's make like enemies and disappear.
