Illusions lyrics

Want to buy some illusion

Slightly used, second hand?

They were lovely illusions

Reaching high, built on sand

They had a touch of paradise

A spell you can't explain

For in this crazy paradise

You are in love with pain

Want to buy some illusions

Slightly used, almost new?

Such romantic illusions

And they're all about you

I'll sell them all for a penny

They make pretty souvenirs

Take my lovely illusions

Some for laughs, some for tears

They had a touch of paradise

A spell you can't explain

For in this crazy paradise

You are in love with pain

Want to buy some illusions

Slightly used, just like new?

Such romantic illusions

And they're all about you

I'll sell them all for a penny

They make pretty souvenirs

Take my lovely illusions

Some for laughs, some for tears
