Smoke And Mirrors Lyrics - Making Mirrors - Gotye

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) 

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? 

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
