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
You'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

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
