You watch every move

And call it slight of hand

You know it's what I do

But never who I am, never who I am.

Started on the street

Cards and dollar bills

Shuffling my feet

Never could be still, never could be still.

And I am an orphan man but ain't we all

I can make myself disappear

I am an orphan man but ain't we all

I could be somewhere worse than here.

I had a bride

Sawed her in half

Couple people cried

But most of them just laughed, most of them just laughed.

And I had a son

Strong of hand and will

Taught him how to run

But never how to steal, never how to steal.

I am an orphan man but ain't we all

I can't make myself reappear

I am an orphan man but ain't we all

I hope there's somewhere worse than here.

I was called amazing

I make folks believe

With nothing in my pockets

And nothing up my sleeve.

I am an orphan man but ain't we all

I can make myself disappear

I am an orphan man but ain't we all

And I know there's somewhere worse than here

Worse than here

Worse than here.
