Johnny Clegg & Savuka - It's an Illusion

Hum mmm oh, hum mm oh yehum
Hum mmm oh, hum mm oh yehum
Hum mmm oh, hum mm oh yehum
Hum mmm oh, hum mm oh yehum
Hum mmm oh, hum mm oh yehum
Hum mmm oh, hum mm oh yehum
Hum mmm oh, hum mm oh yehum ( It's an illusion )
Hum mmm oh, hum mm oh yehum
Hum mmm oh, hum mm oh yehum ( It's an illusion )
Hum mmm oh, hum mm oh yehum ( It's a trick of the light )
Hum mmm oh, hum mm oh yehum ( It's an illusion )
Hum mmm oh

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 need you and I want you
But every time you let me near
You leave me feeling such sweet despair
Going to keep away, away
Going to keep away

Hum mmm oh, hum mm oh yehum
Hum mmm oh, hum mm oh yehum
Hum mmm oh, hum mm oh yehum
Hum mmm oh, hum mm oh yehum

It's an illusion ( Hum mmm oh, hum oh )
To think I can keep away from you ( Hum mmm oh, hum oh )
It's an illusion ( Hum mmm oh, hum oh )
Like eskimoes in Mogadishu ( Hum mmm oh, hum oh )
It's an illusion ( Hum mmm oh, hum oh )
This state of independence I'm in ( Hum mmm oh, hum oh )
It's an illusion ( Hum mmm oh, hum oh )
Like polar bears in Berlin ( Hum mmm oh, hum oh )

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

Hum mmm oh, hum mm oh yehum
Hum mmm oh, hum mm oh yehum
Hum mmm oh, hum mm oh yehum ( Keep away )
Hum mmm oh, hum mm oh yehum
Hum mmm oh, hum mm oh yehum ( Keep away )
Hum mmm oh, hum mm oh yehum
Hum mmm oh, hum mm oh yehum ( Keep away )
Hum mmm oh, hum mm oh yehum

It's an illusion ( Hum mmm oh, hum oh )
It's just a cheap masquerade ( Hum mmm oh, hum oh )
It's an illusion ( Hum mmm oh, hum oh )
Hiding this love I can't evade ( Hum mmm oh, hum oh )
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, oh 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
