Illusion

I once would receive invitations

For cocktails on top of the ritz

I'd take without hesitation

All of the glamour and glitz

But I'll let you in on a secret

Diamonds are just little rocks

At broad daylight

They sparkle so bright

There's not much to see in the dark

I once had a vintage ferrari

Gave it to jean luc godard

Crossed many seas on a hot air balloon

To spoonfeed the lions caviar

I soon developed an interest

To come home and kick off my shoes

Crank up my old victroller

Cause there's nothing like feeling the blues

Nothing can ease the heartache

From that boy going away

The ritz is no fun at a table for one

It's all folly and phony I'd say

I've meditated with ghandi

Then sailed to bali for an afternoon swim

Still couldn't shake off the longing

For one more tomorrow with him

So I'll drink a toast to the memories

Of all that we used to be

All that I have are these daydreams

Until he comes back to me

Ooooooo ooooh ooo ooo ooo

Ooo ooo ooooh

Ooo ooo

Ooo oo ooo

Ooo oo

Ooo ooo ooo ooo

I've come to this final conclusion

Of things that are not to be

Life's a despairing illusion

Until he comes back to me

Ooo ooo ooo oooooooooo
