lyrics

If you come in well you'd better have some backup -
'Cause the essence of sin is in effect here.
It's not what you'd expect.
This is the art of misdirection.
This is it so bring protection.

Seeing the mark is primarily the battle.
And that's not such a chore when you're surrounded by these cattle and sheep.
This is the art of misdirection.
Standby to make selection.

On the tip of your tongue... eyes move to the left.
Your wallet is gone and your forehead is cleft.
You've been taken by a capital man.
You couldn't see it coming at all.

But he was counting on that.
He had it under his coat.
Or was it tucked up his sleeve?
As long as you didn't see...

He wins.
And you don't.

We told you at the door to be careful... come forewarned.
Leave the valuables home, it's no place for a women and her children
to roam.

This is the art of misdirection.
Your things to his collection.

Skids and dopes and cheats unite in solemn quiet morning hell.
Beggar isn't hungry - not today.
Arms entwined in awkward ties to aid the ruse and then disguise...
Don't be so insistent... you could give yourself away.

You could give yourself away.
You could give yourself away.
