Smoke and Mirrors lyrics

You're a fraud and you know it

But it's too good to throw it all away

Anyone would do the same

You've got 'em going

And you're careful not to show it

Sometimes you even fool yourself a bit

It's like magic

But it's always been a smoke and mirrors game

Anyone would do the same

So now that you've arrived, well you wonder

What is it that you've done to make the grade?

And should you do the same?

(Is that too easy?)

Are you only trying to please them?

Will they see then

You're desperate to deliver

Anything that could give you

A sense of reassurance

When you look in the mirror

Such highs and lows

You put on quite a show

All these highs and lows

And you're never really sure

What you do it for

Well do you even want to know?

You put on quite a show

Mother, are you watching?

Are you watching?

Mother, are you watching?

Mother

Mother

You're a fraud and you know it

And every night and day you take the stage

And it always entertains

You're giving pleasure

And that's admirable you tell yourself

And so you'd gladly sell yourself to others

Mother, are you watching?

Mother, are you watching?

Mother, are you watching?

Mother, are you watching?

Are you watching?

Such highs and lows

You put on quite a show

All these highs and lows

And you're never really sure

What you do it for

Well do you even want to know?

Yeah, you put on quite a show
