Want to buy some illusions,
Slightly used, second hand?
They were lovely illusions,
Reaching high, built on sand
They had a touch of paradise
A spell you can't explain:
For in this crazy paradise
You are in love with pain

Want to buy some illusions,
Slightly used, just like new?
Such romantic illusions 
And they're all about you
Too bad that they all fell apart
As dreams often do
They were lovely illusions
But they just wouldn't come true

They were lovely illusions,
Reaching high, built on sand
I'll sell them all for a penny
They make pretty souvenirs
Take my lovely illusions 
Some for laughs, some for tears
