Just an Illusion - Barry Biggs

I’ve been told 'bout living like a star

Hotel Ritz, champagne and caviar

But no-one ever showed me the reverse

And that really hurts, babe, it really hurts

They try to sell your body and your soul

(Babe, want you, my love, babe, I want you)

It’s the price you pay for rock 'n roll

(Babe, want you, my love, babe, I want you)

And no-one understands it how you feel

For it’s so unreal, oh, it’s so unreal

Baby, don’t you cry for me

It’s an illusion, just an illusion

I thought I knew what life should be

It’s an illusion, just an illusion

When critics crucify your latest show

(Babe, want you, my love, babe, I want you)

Another drink and then you lose control

(Babe, want you, my love, babe, I want you)

But then on stage I feel a fire burn

There is no return, I’m always on the run

I give it to you, babe, with all my heart

(Babe, want you, my love, babe, I want you)

For it’s not too late, baby, it’s not too late

Baby, don’t you cry for me

It’s an illusion, just an illusion

I thought I knew what life should be

It’s an illusion, just an illusion

Baby, don’t you cry for me

It’s an illusion, just an illusion

I thought I knew what life should be

It’s an illusion, just an illusion
