Letras:Johnny Clegg & Savuka. It's an Illusion.

It's an illusion, it's an illusion
It's just a trick of the light, 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 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 despair

Going to keep away, away
Going to keep away

It's an illusion
To think I can keep away from you
It's an illusion
Like Eskimos 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?
Who can understand
Love's magic incompatibilities?

Going to keep away, away
Going to keep away, keep away
Keep away, keep away

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 its blue
I'm the beer that just won't brew
I'm a stamp that has no glue
Oh I'm lost without you

A 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
