It's an Illusion

It's an illusion, it's an illusion

It's just a trick of the light, it's an illusionOnce again my wings on fire

Flapping round your deadly flames

Walking on the old high wire

Trying to keep myself awayYou come dancing 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 despairGoing to keep away, away

Going to keep awayIt's an illusion

To think I can keep away from you

It's an illusion

Like Eskimos in MogadishuIt's an illusion

This state of independence I'm in

It's an illusion

Like polar bears in BerlinWhen 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 dayWho can understand

Love's magic incompatibilities?

Who can understand

Love's magic incompatibilities?Going to keep away, away

Going to keep away, keep away

Keep away, keep awayIt's an illusion

It's just a cheap masquerade

It's an illusion

Hiding this love I can't evadeIt's an illusion

Can't you see through the camouflage?

It's an illusion

Without you life is a mirageI'm a foot without a shoe

I'm the fuzz without a clue

I'm a ship without a crew

I'm lost without youOne and one that can't make two

Carrots looking for some stew

A lawyer with no one to sue

I'm lost without youI'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

Oh I'm lost without youA 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
