Lyrics

It’s An Illusion
(© between 1975 & 1978, Rick Moody)

Chorus:
G Am Bm C
It’s an illusion in your mind
G Am C D
Sleepy confusion of a nursery rhyme
G Am Bm C
It’s an illusion in your mind
G Am C D
All of your dreaming just a drop of time

Verse:

C Bm
Although you’ve tried to change your
Am
ways it never fails
C Bm C
You’re caught upon a carousel in
D
civilized jails
C Bm
But then you hear the sounds of
Am
children in the street
C Bm C
Their time will come and surely they
D
can win honestly

(Repeat chorus)
C Bm
I know you’ve heard about the
Am
schemes of things before
C Bm C
A sheltered soul can carry on without
D
Heaven’s door
C Bm
But sometimes when the sun is
Am
seeping from the sky
C Bm
Your so alone and somehow
C D
deep inside you cry

(Repeat chorus to end)
