An Illusion

Alright It's now my great pleasure to introduce to you The greatest voice of the entire century Right, do you wanna know how I reckon? (Yes, please) It's a bank holiday, so all the hospitals are shut Guess I'll have to saw off my own foot Send a letter to my son, tell him that I'm drunk again Tell him it's a buzz having this much fun But tell him that I got stung, tell him that I got burnt Because I went to work without my trench coat on, yeah On the run, what from? Promised him a souvenir from every single city I could cop one So far got none Just this shotgun shot that I got And all for what? I was hot property once, but now the promise is gone Because the roots were all rotted from the start I'm in love with an illusion Once the wheels are in motion Swear I'll join the revolution So just take the plane, James It'll take off regardless Make hay whilst the sun shines Having fun doesn't mean you're heartless Hard of hearing, maybe aimless, dark as sin Whistling past the morgue when the drink kicks in I start self-destructing Buying fridge magnets everywhere I went to prove I've been It's fucking disgusting Look at this A cactus in a snap-back riding a BMX atop bubble lettering that reads "Venice" I'm in love with an illusion Once the wheels are in motion Swear I'll join the revolution And I'd hang my head in shame But for the weight it bears would see to it, I don't look up again Before I came here, I used to have an aim All it takes is a little recalibration to remind me I used to have a name All it takes (all it takes) Yeah, all it takes (yeah, all it takes) I'm in love with an illusion Where's that utopia that I promised ya? I'm in love with an illusion Where's that utopia that I promised ya? I'm in love with an illusion Where's my utopia? It's the end of the world, but how near is it? I hope you'll stick around for the full fore-
