Smoke and Mirrors Lyrics
Well I move around incessantly
But I long for something sedentary
Not long enough to stagnate
Not long enough to gel
But I can't keep still
And I know just why
I'm afraid I might get satisfied
And what would then become
Of all this anger that I sell
Oh I'd like to think that maybe
It's more than smoke and mirrors baby
To keep myself from feeling oh so small
But The girl behind the curtain hides
So you can't see her hurting
And then I turn
And watch the curtain fall
Yeah Then I go and make a curtain call
I know love ain't always a fairytale
But I tell you baby it's just as well
A heart must know the tears
For it to recognize the laughter
And my heart keeps laughing
Most of the time
And you gave me yours
And I gave you mine
And that is quite enough
For my happy ever after
Oh I'd like to think that maybe
It's more than smoke and mirrors baby
To keep myself from feeling oh so tall
But The girl behind the curtain hides
So you can't see her hurting
And then I turn
And watch the curtain fall
Hey then she runs and makes a curtain call
Oh I'd like to think that maybe
It's more than smoke and mirrors baby
To keep myself from feeling oh so small
And The girl behind the curtain hides
So you can't see her hurting
And then she turns to see the curtain fall
Hey then I run and make a curtain call
But I long for something sedentary
Not long enough to stagnate
Not long enough to gel
But I can't keep still
And I know just why
I'm afraid I might get satisfied
And what would then become
Of all this anger that I sell
It's more than smoke and mirrors baby
To keep myself from feeling oh so small
But The girl behind the curtain hides
So you can't see her hurting
And then I turn
And watch the curtain fall
Yeah Then I go and make a curtain call
But I tell you baby it's just as well
A heart must know the tears
For it to recognize the laughter
And my heart keeps laughing
Most of the time
And you gave me yours
And I gave you mine
And that is quite enough
For my happy ever after
It's more than smoke and mirrors baby
To keep myself from feeling oh so tall
But The girl behind the curtain hides
So you can't see her hurting
And then I turn
And watch the curtain fall
Hey then she runs and makes a curtain call
It's more than smoke and mirrors baby
To keep myself from feeling oh so small
And The girl behind the curtain hides
So you can't see her hurting
And then she turns to see the curtain fall
Hey then I run and make a curtain call
