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
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
Dancing through you're deadly flames
Walking on the old high wire
Trying to keep myself away
You come dancing down you're marble stairs
Throwing back you're 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 )
Hum mmm oh, hum oh

I feel happy, you feel deep
You always go out when I want to sleep
Fire, water, sun and rain
War and peace, 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 )
Can't you see through the 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 ( Hum mmm oh, hum oh )
Ooh see through the camouflage ( Hum mmm oh, hum oh )
It's an illusion ( Hum mmm oh, hum oh )
Life without you is a mirage ( Hum mmm oh, hum oh )

I'm a foot that has no shoe, I'm the sky that's lost it's blue
I'm a ship that has no crew, oh I'm lost without you
One and one that can't make two, a lawyer with no one to sue
A star without an interview, oh I'm lost without you
Going to keep away, away
Going to keep away
