You`re a fraud and you know it
But it`s too good to throw it all away
Anyone would do the same
You`ve got `em going
And you`re careful not to show it
Sometimes you even fool yourself a bit
It`s like magic
But it`s always been a smoke and mirrors game
Anyone would do the same
So now that you`ve arrived well you wonder
What is it that you`ve done to make the grade
And should you do the same
Is that too easy
Are you only trying to please them
Will they see then
You`re desperate to deliver
Anything that could give you
A sense of reassurance
When you look in the mirror
Such highs and lows
You put on quite a show
All these highs and lows
And you`re never really sure
What you do it for
Well do you even want to know
You put on quite a show
Mother
Are you watching
You`re a fraud and you know it
And every night and day you take the stage
And it always entertains
You`re giving pleasure
And that`s admirable you tell yourself
And so you gladly sell yourself
To others
Mother
Are you watching
Such highs and lows
You put on quite a show
All these highs and lows
And you`re never really sure
What you do it for
Well do you even want to know
Yeah you put on quite a show
