Sheik, Duncan - Varying Degrees Of Con-artistry Lyrics
Promised cures for everyman
Snake oil and circuses
You can get to Heaven, yes you can
So judge the books by their surfaces
The market place is doing fine
As long as there's no witness
How can there be a crime
The illusion is lasting, such beautiful masking
We hold it in our arms
It's all just varying degrees of con-artistry
But no one seems alarmed, no one seems alarmed
I'll promise love without end
And like a baby soft and helpless
I won't ask questions
The illusion is lasting, such beautiful masking
We see it all the time
It's all just varying degrees of con-artistry
But no one seems to mind, no one seems to mind

Sheik, Duncan Varying Degrees Of Con-artistry Comments
Sometimes it's just too painful to look within ourselves; other times, it's simply inconvenient.
I read that Duncan Sheik himself considered this as one of his favorites that he composed.
I definitely agree !! I love the visual atmospheres created with the sound of that piano damper going down and so on.
