from "JF Murphy and Salt - last illusion" in the 70's, this song haunts me in these very times.
~~~~~~~
We stumble through this life,
in the company of liars,
like a circus clown,
accepting all this strife,
in the name of something higher,
trying to get up,
while they push us through the down,
til the last illusion rolls around,
some say that love, will burn you more that fire,
cause love burns deep inside your head,
and when a friend goes bad,
will that's the last illusion,
friendship is the only beast
that's never known to bite
until it's dead.
and so the wheel of life will turn
and you will be alone,
with just a memory of me,
and though I die a natural death,
many years from now,
let them right upon my stone,
he was murdered by a friend,
when his last illusion rolled around.
some say that love, will burn you more that fire,
cause love burns deep inside your head,
and when a friend goes bad,
will that's the last illusion,
friendship is the only beast
that's never known to bite
until it's dead.
and so the wheel of life will turn
and you will be alone,
with just the memory of me,
and though I die a natural death,
many years from now,
let them right upon my stone,
he was murdered by a friend,
when his last illusion rolled around.
and when a friend goes bad,
will that's the last illusion,
friendship is the only beast
that's never known to bite
until it's dead.
~~~~~~ she was my last illusion,
as was her love for me,
even if only in my mind
alone,
for that short time so sweet.
