SMOKE AND MIRRORS
     

People trying to sell you something
Make you feel sad
Tell you they're the only ones
Who'll stop you feeling bad
Tricks of the trade
Padded cell with a view

But it's not all smoke and mirrors
Some things in life are true

Everything that glitters
Can be bought and sold
Candlesticks and ceiling wax
Memories and souls
Sell you what they took away
Sell it back to you

But it's not all smoke and mirrors
Some things in life are true

[solo].

Close your eyes and you can see
A place not on the map
Wheeling birds and waves somewhere
Let the world collapse
Feel my hand in yours now
See the light in you
Empty world seems far away
Dimensions more than two

But it's not all smoke and mirrors
Some things in life are true
Forget the smoke and mirrors
These things in life are true
