Inception Land: Challenge 8 Entry
Title: Smoke and Mirrors
Artist: Paloma Faith
Explanation: Well this is just... grandiose (as my roommate Elisabette would say)... Yusif's cat deleted the music kick from his iPod. How helpful... not. I do like Edith Piaf, I have to say, but there are artists that I just like more. I ignored Arthur's suggestion of "I'm Alive" by Celine Dion. For two reasons, a) It's Celine Dion (what was Arthur thinking? If I didn't know him better I'd think he was gay) and b) ...wait. I actually only had one reason. Anyway, Paloma has such a unique voice - just like Edith Piaf - and I just think that Smoke and Mirrors is just so apt and has a beat that would wake everyone up! (Even Eames.)

Lyrics:
I met you we made a pact
Broke promises the system snaps
All your lights and neon lights are old
Dicta-coated miracles and then one day the curtain called
Behind your smile you're bony and a fake
Give it up
You've been discovered (Ooh-ooh ooh-ooh)
Don't look back 'cos you've just lost your lova'
Give it up
Your unillusioned (Ooh-ooh ooh-ooh)
Play our tricks and all I get is just confusion
And now we're through
The show is over
The audience is walking out the room
You know it's true, when I told ya
That all this gunk comes back around on you
You said you were built to last
You took my hand you made a pass
The moon eclipsed and circled round my heart
With your kiss my life began
Your love it hit and then you ran
And I hope you pay your dues I'm moving on
Give it up
You've been discovered (Ooh-ooh ooh-ooh)
Don't look back 'cos you've just lost your lova'
Give it up
Your inillusioned (Ooh-ooh ooh-ooh)
Play our tricks and all I get is just confusion
And now we're through
The show is over
The audience is walking out the room
You know it's true, when I told ya
That all this gunk comes back around on you
(Uuuuuoooooooooohhhh uuuoh)
You might think I'm sitting home and crying
But I'm not, oh no
I've pulled the Queen of Clubs, there's no denying
I'm having the time of my life
And now we're through
The show is over
The audience is walking out the room
You know it's true, when I told ya
That all this gunk comes back around on you
And now we're through
The show is over
The audience is walking out the room
You know it's true, when I told ya
That all this gunk comes back around
All this gunk comes back around
On you.
