lyrics
Smoke and Mirrors
I stretch out my hand, and I touch the fronds growing through the street as I walk along
The broken glass makes a crunching sound, reflects the light as the sun goes down
A place on fire, smell the black smoke churn, I stay a while, and watch it burn
The house was built on hopes and fears, now all that’s left is smoke and mirrors.
Ain’t nobody here to rush me along, push me around, they’re all dead and gone
I can hear the wind, the grasshoppers’ song, the birds don’t mind ‘bout right and wrong
Was a city here high on a hill, they made it shine, they lied and killed
No more magicians, divining seers, now all that’s left is smoke and mirrors.
When I was young I was free, I could take my time and do anything
Now I walk and I take my time, I do what I want, the world is mine
The bullet shells make a twinklin’ sound, the picture screens smash when I toss ‘em down
The clouds roll by and when the lake is clear it reflects the sky, smoke and mirrors.
All it was, was smoke and mirrors, now all that’s left is smoke and mirrors.
I stretch out my hand, and I touch the fronds growing through the street as I walk along
The broken glass makes a crunching sound, reflects the light as the sun goes down
A place on fire, smell the black smoke churn, I stay a while, and watch it burn
The house was built on hopes and fears, now all that’s left is smoke and mirrors.
Ain’t nobody here to rush me along, push me around, they’re all dead and gone
I can hear the wind, the grasshoppers’ song, the birds don’t mind ‘bout right and wrong
Was a city here high on a hill, they made it shine, they lied and killed
No more magicians, divining seers, now all that’s left is smoke and mirrors.
When I was young I was free, I could take my time and do anything
Now I walk and I take my time, I do what I want, the world is mine
The bullet shells make a twinklin’ sound, the picture screens smash when I toss ‘em down
The clouds roll by and when the lake is clear it reflects the sky, smoke and mirrors.
All it was, was smoke and mirrors, now all that’s left is smoke and mirrors.
