about

Remember those old variety shows that sometimes featured magicians? Remember when pretending to saw a woman in half was considered entertainment?!!! This song playfully imagines all those halves of women going on to live their halved lives afterward.

lyrics

The man in the cape, the “magician” 
Ran off as the last clapping died’
But nobody knew when the magic was through
What to do with this new tribe of brides

Cause half of us are talkers, and half just walk away  
And half of us can promise you that half of us will stay

Nobody said it’d be easy
But I think we were led to infer
That if we climbed into the box on our own
We’d climb out the same as we were
 
Now part of me can leave you, as part stays by your side
Part will vanish in the crowd, the rest will be your bride
 
Maybe half of every woman
Gets into it over her head
I’ll need you to help to arrange me somehow
In a comfortable way on the bed
 
Now part of me can leave you, as part stays by your side
Part will vanish in the crowd, the rest will be your bride

Part of me remembers, while part gets thinking all wrong
See how the doves turned out to be scarves
After the magic was gone
 
Cause part of me is with you, as part walks out alone
You know I’d give you all my love, if that were possible
You know I’d give you all my love, if that were practical
