lyrics

Verse 1:
A little misdirection
Could be your greatest
Deception

When nothing's what it seems
How can you believe?
Another trick up your sleeve
While we're lost in a dream
In the confusion,
The delusion,
All part of the grand illusion
Just smoke and mirrors

Pre-Chorus:
The harder you look
The less you see
Caught up in reality

Chorus:
Make yourself pretty
Make yourself fair
Paint your face
And dye your hair
Mirror, mirror on the wall
Who's the fairest of them all?

Verse 2:
You cloud your judgment with rational
Does it make the illusion
Seem worthwhile?
Easier to justify your means
While we're lost in a dream
In the confusion,
the delusion,
All part of the grand illusion

Pre-Chorus:
Well the harder you look
The less you see
Caught up in reality

Chorus:
Make yourself pretty
And make yourself fair
Paint your face
And dye your hair
Mirror, mirror on the wall
Who's the fairest of them all?

Bridge:
You think it's all a formality
While we're lost in a dream
Just smoke and mirrors

Pre-Chorus:
Well the harder you look
The less you see
Caught up in reality

Chorus:
Make yourself pretty
And make yourself fair
Paint your face
And dye your hair
Mirror, mirror on the wall
Who's the fairest of them all?
