Hum mmm oh, hum mm oh yehum
Its 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:
Its an illusion
To think I can keep away from you
Its an illusion
Like eskimoes in mogadishu
Its an illusion
This state of independence Im in
Its 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
Loves magic incompatibilities?
Going to keep away, keep away
Chorus:
Its an illusion
Its just a cheap masquerade
Its an illusion
Hiding this love I cant evade
Its an illusion
Cant you see through the camouflage?
Its an illusion
Without you life is a mirage
Im a foot without a shoe, Im the fuzz without a clue
Im a ship without a crew, Im lost without you
One and one that cant make two, carrots looking for some stew
A lawyer with no one to sue, Im lost without you
Im the sky thats lost its blue, Im the beer that just wont brew
Im a stamp that has no glue, Im lost without you
A hound with no fox to pursue, Im a cat thats lost its mew
A star without an interview, Im lost without you
