[Intro]
One... "Disappearing Act"
One, two, three, four
[Verse 1]
What was the name of that twist and shout?
You used to play when the lights went out
I was too early, you were too late
Made your decision to terminate
Our love
[Pre-Chorus]
It's not my fault you had to run to
Some other guy who could posses you
As they arrest you all night long
[Chorus]
Disappearing act, and you look into
Disappearing act, not much more I can do
Disappearing act, throw you away
Disappearing act, not for another day
Disappearing act, where did you go?
I don’t want you to know
[Verse 2]
Scoot down the road on a brand new wheel
Always the same, what you can't conceal
I will not cry if you don't come back
I’m tired of your disappearing act
[Pre-Chorus]
It's not my fault you had to run to
Some other guy who could posses you
As they arrest you all night long
[Chorus]
Disappearing act, and you look into
Disappearing act, not much more I can do
Disappearing act, throw you away
Disappearing act, not for another day
Disappearing act, where did you go?
I don't want you to know
[Chorus]
Disappearing act, and you look into
Disappearing act, not much more I can do
Disappearing act, throw you away
Disappearing act, not for another day
Disappearing act, where did you go?
I don't want you to know
