Sage Francis - Smoke and Mirrors lyrics
[Sage Francis - Smoke and Mirrors lyrics]
I am more than two faced
I've got at least six with cheap tricks
To hide my not-so-pretty side while
Accentuating cheeks and lips
I use battin' rouge to battle crews
Who don't like the remix
And you just act confused by the way I
Choose to fuck with a double helix
Cuddle with me quick
Get befuddled and sea sick
My ugly mug'll be equipped to make
It a struggle to see shit the beat kicks
My belly feels empty I want a person there
I'll curse and swear
And act unmother-like until I persevere
Haven't been to church in years
Right now that's the setting
I couldn't think of a better place to
Cover my face and have a wedding
It's upsetting how plastic my
Mask is getting
It's melting and releasing toxic fumes
Covered by lots of perfume
Never coming out of my closet of costumes
Cartoon versions of myself get drawn out
After that occurs, time gets consumed
I'm in the dressing room
With the caricatures
Until my head is cured I'm
Heading for pedicures and manicures
Man, if your not damn sure of whether or not
To pop the question I'll let
You in on the answer
Think of sex in a camper
A phony life with a trophy wife
Menthol cigarettes and cancer
Smoke and Mirrors
So sophisticated
So cool
I AM an illusion specialist turning tricks
Who could never diss
The one the wake up next to even if it's
Not the one they went to bed with
Breakfast at Tiffany's, skip lunch
Make sure the dinner table is candle lit
I squish my feet until they crunch
But I'm unable to make these sandals fit
I can't just sit I need
To MOVE and power walk
Because Oprah said it
And I won't forget it
She does it during the opening credit's
I'm so synthetic i like the smell of coke
Get it? I powder my nose
Power to hoes who pound on a hose
While playing in a pound of snow
I'm getting snow plowed, I KNOW
It's time to fuck a guy now
I just applied blush and look surprised
But it's the way I plucked my eyebrows
Time out, i'm in a tanning booth
Reading Danielle Steel
And I'm planting banana peels beneath
Every damn man's heel
Waiting for them to fall for
My sad trick I stop, drop and kneel
With a little touch of magic
I'll let David cop a feel
I'm not real, but I've got FEELINGS
Except in my nipples because
Of the breast implants
To have my chest enhanced I pant in
Dresses but never dress in pants
A club hopping strobe light
Honeyaddicted to wrinkle cream
Sipping on Listerine
Mr clean don't like the smell of nicotine
Smoke and Mirrors
So sophisticated
So cool
I AM dirtyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy
I've got at least six with cheap tricks
To hide my not-so-pretty side while
Accentuating cheeks and lips
I use battin' rouge to battle crews
Who don't like the remix
And you just act confused by the way I
Choose to fuck with a double helix
Cuddle with me quick
