Smoke and Mirrors Lyrics

[Sage Francis]

 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 credits

 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 honey...addicted 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
