******************************
You're a fraud and you know it
But it's too good to throw it all away
Anyone would do the same
You've got 'em going
And you're careful not to show it
Sometimes you even fool yourself a bit
It's like magic
But it's always been a smoke and mirrors game
Anyone would do the same

So now that you've arrived well you wonder
What is it that you've done to make the grade
And should you do the same?
(Is that too easy?)
Are you only trying to please them
Will they see then-
You're desperate to deliver
Anything that could give you
A sense of reassurance
When you look in the mirror

Such highs and lows
You put on quite a show
All these highs and lows
And you're never really sure
What you do it for
Well do you even want to know?
You put on quite a show

(Mother)
Are you watching?
Are you watching?
(Mother)
(Mother)
Are you watching?

You're a fraud and you know it
And every night and day you take the stage
And it always entertains
You're giving pleasure
And that's admirable you tell yourself
And so you'd gladly sell yourself
To others
(Mother)
Are you watching?
(Mother)
Are you watching?
Are you watching?

Such highs and lows
You put on quite a show
All these highs and lows
And you're never really sure
What you do it for
Well do you even want to know?
Yeah you put on quite a show

Do you mean that the mind picks up stuff with its own radar? Must be.

But the lyrics to Kate Bush's Strange Phenomena rings true when you can be thinking about someone, then within a few days- you meet them.

Also there is that weird thing when you meet someone new, then a few days later, see them again in another location- then don't see them ever again.

WEIRD.

[Peter Hayes]

It might merely be confirmation bias.

[Koen van Buuren]

Actually paused the episode to look this song up haha, in my opinion this would be a better soundtrack for Suits than the one they have now.

[Jordan Petrunov]

i am here from Suits season 2 episode 1

Never mind the subject matter... can anyone else relate to this : first heard the term yesterday. Smoke and Mirrors. Then I heard it again today. NOT KIDDING. Anyone else experienced this phenomenon? Has happened MANY times in my life.

Example : Bought The Cults' Ressurection Joe 12 ". Hep Cat Mix.... That night, the term Hep Cat appears on TV in Woody Allen's Bananas.
