smoke and mirrors

The Magnetic Fields

someone else's world goes by
as my train runs through this night
someone else's rain comes down
but no rain can touch me now

smoke and mirrors, special effects
a little fear, a little sex
that's all love is behind the tears
smoke and mirrors

we were foolish, you and I
but there's no reason to cry
we put on a lovely show, but that's all
I had to go

I don't know the stations' names
I'll spend my life on this train

fumee et miroirs, effets speciaux
un pue de peur, un peu de sexe
sous les larmes l'amour n'est que sa de
la fumee et des miroirs
