WITH FINGERS CROSSED YOU SWITCH THE PERFUME WITH THE MACE
WHAT KIND OF DREAMS DO YOU ENJOY INSIDE YOUR BED?
IÂ’LL FACE THE LIES THAT TAKE THE EVIL FROM YOUR HEAD
BLACK ILLUSION IS ALL I EVER SEE
BLACK ILLUSION, IÂ’LL BRING YOU MISERY
OH YEAH
YEAH
YOU ALWAYS SEEM TO KNOW THE ANSWER TO IT ALL
YOU SEEM TO CHEAT THE TRUTH AND NEVER TAKE THE FALL
YOUR LIFE IS HOLLOW AND YOU SIMPLIFY THE RULES
THE TIME WILL COME WHEN YOU WILL JOIN THE OTHER FOOLS
BLACK ILLUSION IS ALL I EVER SEE
BLACK ILLUSION, IÂ’LL BRING YOU MISERY
OH YEAH
YEAH
I LOAD THE DICE AND FAKE A SMILE UPON MY FACE
WITH FINGERS CROSSED I SWITCH THE PERFUME WITH THE MACE
WHAT KIND OF DREAMS DO I ENJOY INSIDE MY BED
YOUÂ’LL FACE THE LIES THAT SHAKE THE EVIL FROM MY HEAD
BLACK ILLUSION IS ALL I EVER SEE
BLACK ILLUSION, IÂ’LL BRING YOU MISERY
OH YEAH
YEAH
YEAH
