Boz Scaggs - IllusionLyrics

All he can do Is turn the other way Although he'd love to love you Your eyes deceive Your lovers leave And you go crawling again Into your shadows and then Run away Why don't you just run off And hide once again In your damned illusion Nights so sweet The perfume beats Into your veins and then It's all insane again Feelings burn The blues return Those lips are calling And you go falling and falling and falling Run away Why don't you just run off And hide once again In your damned illusion.. yeah Run away Why don't you just run off and hide once again In your damned illusion You can run off baby but you know that You just can't hide no more From your lowdown ways Can't get away from your damned illusions Ooh ain't it hard babe just to get through the night When you can't see the light for your damned illusion You can run off babe Once again your fooling around In your damned illusion yeah yeah Once again you will fall into you damned illusion You take one part Buddha And two parts cat Run them through your computer And that's where he's at Some say he's ruthless And some say he's a saint They tell you he's innocent I tell you he aint I hear him think I follow his flight I'd know that footstep In the darkest of nights I follow that man He's a creature of stealth Don't run with the mob Won't stop at nothing Till he finishes the job I hear him out there laughing When he knows I'm closing in I feel the desperation Of the fool within He's like your shadow You can stop it dead But when you go to take him He's a step ahead I follow that man [I follow from a distance As he appears Between the darkness and the light Meeted curtains part He takes a drink He takes a smoke Takes a paper He takes me along for the ride I snatch his bag We go deeper Into the quarter Through a rain slaked dampness into an alley The smell of garbage and perfume Brick by brick His woman meets me But it doesn't matter Anyway, whose chasing who I'm just holding the bag] I hear him out there laughing When he knows I'm closing in I feel the desperation I hear him think I follow his flight I'd know that footstep In the darkest of nights I follow that man I follow that man I watch him smoke I watch him drink I follow that man I follow that man
