Just An Illusion

I've been told 'bout living like a star

Hotel Rich, champagne and caviar

But no one ever showed me the reverse

And that really hurts, baby, it really hurts

They try to sell your body and your soul

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

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

Another drink and then you lose control

But then on stage I feel that fire burn

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

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

For it's not too late, oh, 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

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
