[Verse 1: Stephin Merritt]
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

[Chorus]
Smoke and mirrors, special effects
A little fear, a little sex
That's all love is, behind the tears
Smoke and mirrors

[Verse 2]
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

[Chorus]
Smoke and mirrors, special effects
A little fear, a little sex
That's all love is, behind the tears
Smoke and mirrors

[Verse 3]
I don't know the stations' names
I'll spend my life on this train
[Chorus]
Smoke and mirrors (Fumée et miroirs)
Special effects (Effets speciaux, un peu de peur)
A little fear (Un peu de sexe)
A little sex (Sous les lârmes l'amour n'est que sa)
That's all love is, behind the tears (De la fumée et des miroirs)
Smoke and mirrors
