the sweetest illusion

Singer:basia

bread and butter tastes more like it could be cordon bleu

mona lisa's smiling like a cheshire cat

even johnny rocker sounds today like nat king cole

every yellow taxi's like a cadillac

and the cup that once appeared half empty

has become a cup that is half full

where there was a space there is now plenty

you're a lucky sign ascending - no one does for me what you do

love is the sweetest illusion

love is the sweetest illusion

every innuendo seems to be in semaphore

monday mornings turn into a mardi gras

and a glass of soda tastes more like dom perignon

every dead end street's an ocean boulevard

the more i look the more i see

and i don't mind if my senses are deceiving me

the more i touch the more i feel

who cares what is imaginary and what is real

if black is white and red is green

i don't care which way around it is supposed to be

i close my eyes but i can see. the more i look the more i see

from where i stand my world is looking good to me

the more i touch the more i feel

don't want to know what is true what's make believe.
