[Chorus:]
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


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


[Chorus]

I want to vanish

This is my last request
I've given you the awful truth
Now give me my rest
