Assistant Lyrics & Chords By Amanda Palmer

Step inside this magic tent
Seven wonders, 50 cents
Watch the man without a face
Disappear without a trace

You can't manage by yourself
Well, I am just the girl to help
You're no good at telling lies
Your hands are quicker than your eyes

But do you see what I see?
Do you see what I see?

Aren't you such a clever man
Showing off your sleight of hand?
Well, everyone knows you're not true
They blindly play along with you

But you don't hear what I hear
You don't hear what I hear

Stick a pin in it
C'mon, he's asking for it
Stick a pin in it
C'mon, he's asking for it

You keep your slate left very clean
Four blades that split a girl in three
Well, I just wink and smile and wave
Left in pieces there for days

But I know something you don't
I know something you don't

Stick a pin in it
C'mon, he's asking for it
Stick a pin in it
C'mon, he's asking for it

Stick a pin in it
I'm getting sick of this
Can't stand the lights
And I can't stand the sight of blood
Stick a pin in it
Hey, honey, picture it
They're gonna love this one
They're gonna eat it up
Stick a pin in it
I'm getting sick of this
I want my mom and dad

Go get a new assistant
Go get a new assistant
Go get a new assistant
Go get a new assistant
Go get a new assistant
