[Verse 1] Streetlights bleeding gold on the broken street, Rain stains the window where our shadows meet. You order whiskey, eyes like loaded dice— Love’s just a rumor we rehearse every night. [Chorus] It’s all smoke and mirrors, Lies in velvet gloves, Promises that vanish Like the echo of our love. I can’t tell the truth from the taste of your lips— But darling, I fall for every trick. [Verse 2] Neon flickers, hope goes up in smoke, The jukebox plays a secret only lost souls know. You say “Don’t wait up”—I watch you disappear, Another case unsolved, another ghost to fear. [Chorus] It’s all smoke and mirrors, Lies in velvet gloves, Promises that vanish Like the echo of our love. I can’t tell the truth from the taste of your lips— But darling, I fall for every trick. [Bridge] If the world’s a crime, we’re partners in sin— I’ll meet you at midnight, Let the darkness begin. [Chorus/Outro] It’s all smoke and mirrors, Shadows on parade, Kiss me for the record— Tomorrow we’ll fade.
