Its an Illusion — текст песни (Johnny Clegg and Savuka)

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
