Hum mmm oh, hum mm oh yehum
|
|
It's an illusion!
|
|
Once again my wings on fire
|
Flapping round your deadly flames
|
Walking on the old high wire
|
Trying to keep myself away
|
You come walking down your marble stairs
|
Throwing back your yellow hair
|
And I want you and I need you
|
But every time you let me near
|
You leave me feeling such sweet despair
|
'Going to keep away, keep away
|
|
Chorus:
|
It's an illusion
|
To think I can keep away from you
|
It's an illusion
|
Like eskimoes in Mogadishu
|
It's an illusion
|
This state of independence I'm in
|
It's an illusion
|
Like polar bears in Berlin
|
|
When I feel happy, you feel deep
|
You always go out when I want to sleep
|
Fire, water, sun and rain
|
War and peace and night and day
|
Who can understand
|
Love's magic incompatibilities?
|
Going to keep away, keep away
|
|
Chorus:
|
It's an illusion
|
It's just a cheap masquerade
|
It's an illusion
|
Hiding this love I can't evade
|
It's an illusion
|
Can't you see through the camouflage?
|
It's an illusion
|
Without you life is a mirage
|
|
I'm a foot without a shoe, I'm the fuzz without a clue
|
I'm a ship without a crew, I'm lost without you
|
One and one that can't make two, carrots looking for some stew
|
A lawyer with no one to sue, I'm lost without you
|
I'm the sky that's lost its blue, I'm the beer that just won't brew
|
I'm a stamp that has no glue, I'm lost without you
|
A hound with no fox to pursue, I'm a cat that's lost its mew
|
A star without an interview, I'm lost without you
|
