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 tryin' 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
