Mirrors and Smoke
He's far from just another
Tired face in the crowd
Mostly everybody else
Has their head up in the clouds
The lights from the cityscape
Bounce off the falling rain
As he walks down the alley
You can hardly hear him complain
If you think he's gonna stop
You've got another thing coming
A celebrated showman
Never ceases to amaze
Stranger things have happened
Better days are in the cards
Shuffle the deck and go for broke
It's all mirrors and smoke
He used to be somebody
Someone people knew quite well
He could make you adore him
Place you under his spell
Now he's run out of gusto
No more tricks up his sleeve
Once a powerful wizard
Though now it's hard to believe
If you think he's gonna stop
You've got another thing coming
A celebrated showman
Never ceases to amaze
Stranger things have happened
Better days are in the cards
Shuffle the deck and go for broke
It's all mirrors and smoke
As a young charmer of wit
He'd leave his audience aghast
Abracadabra now
He is knee deep in the past
To the untrained naked eye
He's much the same as me or you
But with a simple sleight of hand
You may rethink your point of view
If you think he's gonna stop
You've got another thing coming
A celebrated showman
Never ceases to amaze
Stranger things have happened
Better days are in the cards
Shuffle the deck and go for broke
It's all mirrors and smoke
If you think he's gonna stop
You've got another thing coming
A celebrated showman
Never ceases to amaze
Stranger things have happened
Better days are in the cards
Shuffle the deck and go for broke
It's all mirrors and smoke
A thorough check shows your heart has broke
It's all mirrors and smoke
Your life's a wreck but it's all a joke
It's all mirrors and smoke
It's all mirrors and smoke
Tired face in the crowd
Mostly everybody else
Has their head up in the clouds
The lights from the cityscape
Bounce off the falling rain
As he walks down the alley
You can hardly hear him complain
If you think he's gonna stop
You've got another thing coming
A celebrated showman
Never ceases to amaze
Stranger things have happened
Better days are in the cards
Shuffle the deck and go for broke
It's all mirrors and smoke
He used to be somebody
Someone people knew quite well
He could make you adore him
Place you under his spell
Now he's run out of gusto
No more tricks up his sleeve
Once a powerful wizard
Though now it's hard to believe
If you think he's gonna stop
You've got another thing coming
A celebrated showman
Never ceases to amaze
Stranger things have happened
Better days are in the cards
Shuffle the deck and go for broke
It's all mirrors and smoke
As a young charmer of wit
He'd leave his audience aghast
Abracadabra now
He is knee deep in the past
To the untrained naked eye
He's much the same as me or you
But with a simple sleight of hand
You may rethink your point of view
If you think he's gonna stop
You've got another thing coming
A celebrated showman
Never ceases to amaze
Stranger things have happened
Better days are in the cards
Shuffle the deck and go for broke
It's all mirrors and smoke
If you think he's gonna stop
You've got another thing coming
A celebrated showman
Never ceases to amaze
Stranger things have happened
Better days are in the cards
Shuffle the deck and go for broke
It's all mirrors and smoke
A thorough check shows your heart has broke
It's all mirrors and smoke
Your life's a wreck but it's all a joke
It's all mirrors and smoke
It's all mirrors and smoke
