LYRICS

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?
Are you watching?
(Mother)
(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'd gladly sell yourself
To others
(Mother)
Are you watching?
(Mother)
Are you watching?
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

[TESSgg]

The scene Mike came around in the firm right after being discovered and this song plays: Perfect fit

[RosiezYT]

Night agent the best show of the 2023-2025 years on Netflix, can't wait for season 3

[garfield]

-Why was he so dazed when he walked out?
-I told him I was proud of him.

[seniorkronic]

Whoever picks the music for suits is awesome!!

[elreyn]

Agreed. He's a musical chameleon. And not in any cheap karaoke-like way. It's clear every song is genuine, sincere, and born of real talent.

[oghenetegaonwuka]

This perfectly resonates with Mike in Suits. The song choice is brilliant.

[RoseCrusador]

One of the best albums I've bought in a long time, his music is simply brilliant.

[davidconner]

Been listening to Wally since the start. Always thought he was a weird guy, always had a deep respect for his words. The impact his art has left on my life is irreversible.

[LauraLemurexASMR]

I'm not here because of Suits. I was actually going through all his tracks. Big fuckin woop.

[ThePOOPpoopPOOPpooop]

In my opinion, this song is way better than Somebody That I Used To Know.

[tunesofinspirationandheali]

The end of Season 2 of The Night Agent

[Anom]

That last ARE YOU WATCHING? Chills every time.

[chariot]

Came from Giri/Haji... And damn that song sends shivers down my spine

[aneural]

This is such a psychological song.. i think it's relating to people with ASPD and Other personality disorders, as We feel hollow inside once we are alone, and live life wearing a mask of a normal person. The Highs and Lows greatly reflect this. Great song.

[Nala]

" 'I have no dreams, I have goals" Suits, I love you.

[shotgunX]

What I love about Gotye songs, particularly this one, is that anyone can interpret and relate to it one way. Just reading the first comment page I've read many different ways people felt a connection to the song.

[gru_day]

Great album - remind me some of the best mid-80s music. Really balanced relese.

[Taiyokaii]

Welcome to the ‘I just like the album and I’ve never watched Suits’ club
We’re glad to have you

[willcross]

listen to it in the morning smoking a cig with breakfeast as the sun rising as its quiet in the house

[Blarchar]

Damn. I used this song as my alarm for a few years after high school. Can't stand it now.
Shame, it's such a good one.
