[Verse 1]
I want to vanish
This is my fondest wish
To go where I cannot be captured
Laid on a decorated dish
Even in splendor
This curious fate
Is more than I care to surrender
Now it's too late

[Chorus]
Whether in wonder or indecent haste
You arrange the mirrors and the spools
To snare the rare and precious jewels
That were only made of paste

[Verse 2]
If you should stumble
Upon my last remark
I'm crying in the wilderness
I'm trying my best to make it dark
How can I tell you
I'm rarer than most?
I'm certain as a lost dog
Pondering a sign post
[Chorus]
Whether in wonder or indecent haste
You arrange the mirrors and the spools
To snare the rare and precious jewels
That were only made of paste

[Outro]
I want to vanish
This is my last request
I've given you the awful truth
Now give me my rest
