Special Effects

Your cover is blown

Familiar and strange

You quoted a film

Only just rearranged

You drank the champagne

You opened the doors

With sleight of hand

But I was never yours

I see you through the magic, and the view's getting clearer

Smile realistic through the smoke and the mirrors

My eyes love what my brain rejects

Never gonna fall for your special effects

It's magic, and the view's getting clearer

Smile realistic through the smoke and the mirrors

My eyes love what my brain rejects

Never gonna fall for your special effects

You're a deception, humble and coy

You push all the buttons / you seem to enjoy

They're larger than life / to all who approach

Mimicking humans / well beyond reproach

I see you through the magic, and the view's getting clearer

Smile realistic through the smoke and the mirrors

My eyes love what my brain rejects

Never gonna fall for your special effects

It's magic, and the view's getting clearer

Smile realistic through the smoke and the mirrors

My eyes love what my brain rejects

Never gonna fall for your special effects

Special effects

I've never been

Easily played

Except for one time

But the memories fade

The memories fade

(Never gonna fall)

I see you through the magic, and the view's getting clearer

Smile realistic through the smoke and the mirrors

My eyes love what my brain rejects

Never gonna fall for your special effects

It's magic, and the view's getting clearer

Smile realistic through the smoke and the mirrors

My eyes love what my brain rejects

Never gonna fall for your special effects
