Smoke and Mirrors (Abbey Road version)
So this is what you wanted us to see?
Why you wanted us to stop and stare?
This is how you tell yourself you're free
A prisoner to anything we say
Ride your tide on your side
Funny how they fill a vacuum just to make you think that it's all so real
Funny how they follow you like pretty mice running on a wheel
Live your life out in smoke and mirrors
All that glitters for you must be gold
Live your lies out and dress your windows
Gotta make it shine before it gets too old
So you think you've got an ace up your sleeve?
You wear out every thread you weave
For a dose of sycophancy and praise
You can take whatever comes your way
Money lines your pockets, it won't fill that hole inside your head
Anyone can see the road you're on and what is up ahead
Live your life out in smoke and mirrors
All that glitters for you must be gold
Live your lies out and dress your windows
Gotta make it shine before it gets too old
How you make it up as you go along I don't know
Thought I'd seen it all but you always have your ways
You can switch it on and off and never let it show
Now you got us here what is it that you really want?
Live your life out in smoke and mirrors
All that glitters for you must be gold
Live your lies out and dress your windows
Gotta make it shine before it gets too old
Why you wanted us to stop and stare?
This is how you tell yourself you're free
A prisoner to anything we say
Ride your tide on your side
Funny how they fill a vacuum just to make you think that it's all so real
Funny how they follow you like pretty mice running on a wheel
Live your life out in smoke and mirrors
All that glitters for you must be gold
Live your lies out and dress your windows
Gotta make it shine before it gets too old
So you think you've got an ace up your sleeve?
You wear out every thread you weave
For a dose of sycophancy and praise
You can take whatever comes your way
Money lines your pockets, it won't fill that hole inside your head
Anyone can see the road you're on and what is up ahead
Live your life out in smoke and mirrors
All that glitters for you must be gold
Live your lies out and dress your windows
Gotta make it shine before it gets too old
How you make it up as you go along I don't know
Thought I'd seen it all but you always have your ways
You can switch it on and off and never let it show
Now you got us here what is it that you really want?
Live your life out in smoke and mirrors
All that glitters for you must be gold
Live your lies out and dress your windows
Gotta make it shine before it gets too old
