|
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 |
