Gotye — Smoke and Mirrors

[Verse 1] 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 [Interlude] [Verse 2] 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 [Interlude] [Chorus] 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 [Bridge] Mother, are you watching? Are you watching? Mother, are you watching? Mother Mother [Verse 3] 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 [Bridge] Mother, are you watching? Mother, are you watching? Mother, are you watching? Mother, are you watching? Are you watching? [Interlude] [Chorus] 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 [Outro]
