Smoke and Mirrors Lyrics by Emily Rohm

Traveling Show

2021

[Smoke and Mirrors]
[Verse 1]
She walks alone every morning
Down the same old street
And wonders how she let her days get stuck on this endless repeat
She wants that movie life
A hero comes to sweep her off her feet
They'll run away~ (They'll run away~)
[Pre-Chorus]
But when you look behind the scenes
There's a projector and the screen
Is flashing images of lies
There's nothing there believe your eyes
(Watch out!)
[Chorus]
It's smoke and mirrors
(Watch out!)
It's smoke and mir~rors
(Oo-ooh-ooh)
[Verse 2]
Day after day, waiting tables
(Small town girl cliche)
She serves the same old faces
Hoping that she'll make it out someday
Her feet are tired (oo-oo-ooh)
But strong enough to carry her aw~ay
(She'll run aw~ay)
[Verse 3]
A friend of a friend has some room
Out in NYC
She's never been there, yet convinced there's no place she would rather be
(She would rather be)
She wants that city life
The one she's only seen on her tv
She'll get aw~ay
(She'll get away)
[Pre-Chorus]
But when you look behind the stage
There's a director and the page-
Es tell her what to do and what to say
It's just a story~, just a play~
(Watch out!)
[Chorus]
It's smoke and mirrors
(Watch out!)
It's smoke and mir~rors
(Oo-ooh-ooh)
[Bridge]
Spot-lights and
Fire!
It's a liar
Who could do it?
See right through it~
[Break for instrumental]
[Verse 4]
She spends her life taking orders
Both at work and home
She plays the role of someone confident enough to be alone
She's smoke and mirrors
Cause when she starts to break through the unknown
She runs away~ (she runs away~)
[Outro]
(Watch out!)
It's smoke and mirrors
(Watch out!)
It's smoke and mir~rors
(Oo-ooh-ooh)
Watch out!
(Watch out!)
It's smoke and mirrors
Watch out!
(Watch out!)
It's smoke and mir-o-r-r-r-s
