Johnny Clegg & Savuka - It's An Illusion lyrics

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
