I'm the magician's assistant
I'm squeezed inside the box
The body contorted
The only real illusion's that I'm gone
See the magician's a master
At concealing all within
His flashy show just a distraction
All the while I'm waiting in the wing
Watching a man become as phony as his act
While the audience applaud
For he knows there's no such thing as magic
And I'll be right back with him
Just as soon as the crowds are gone
I'm the magician's assistant
