Illusions

Illusions

California man, Born to walk on sand
Out before the tide comes in
To catch another wave, Right into his grave
Celebrating every sin

Then a desert girl appeared out of the East
An exotic beauty brought him to his knees
She had so much love to give, A body like a sedative
But she never knew the troubles they would be

[Chorus]
Yeah, We're walkin' on fire, Never feel a thing!
Illusions all the time!
Yeah, We're searchin' our souls, Believing what we see!
Illusions all the time!

Yeah

New York City son, Had to be someone
Likes to play his music loud
Down on Bleeker street, Rockin' hard and sweet
Gonna make his Momma proud!

Makes a record and he blows them all away
Gonna be a star, Own the world someday
He had so much life to give, Then he found a sedative
But he never knew the trouble there would be

[Chorus]
Yeah, We're walkin' on fire, Never feel a thing!
Illusions all the time!
Yeah, We're searchin' our souls, Believing what we see!
Illusions all the time!
(Solo)

[Spoken]
Mable! Look around yourself and those rose coloured glasses
An think that everything looks so fine
If it's what keeps ya smilin'?
Well, That's all that matters in the end

[Chorus]
Yeah, We're walkin' on fire, Never feel a thing!
Illusions all the time!
Yeah, We're searchin' our souls, Believing what we see!
Illusions all the time!

[Chorus]
Yeah, We're walkin' on fire, Never feel a thing!
Illusions all the time!
Yeah, We're searchin' our souls, Believing what we see!
Illusions all the time!
