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 it's 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 it's mew   A star without an interview, I'm lost without you
