I Want To Vanish

Lyrics - Credits - Discography - Covers - Bootlegs - Chords

Lyrics 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 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 (Repeat Chorus) I want to vanish This is my last request I've given you the awful truth Now give me my rest
