Livin' Ain't Easy LP - Side 1 / Track 1 - Grand Illusion - With Lyrics
This is my favorite song from the Livin' Ain't Easy LP.
The song is about a boy who is literally dying from an overdose of drugs after his girlfriend has done the same thing. Needless to say, (but I will say it anyway) he is having a \"Grand Illusion\".
This song, as well as Evil Woman (from Blackbird), is also on the Shades of Darkness CD.
LYRICS
Grand Illusion Johnny M. Lail
Your soul is gone but I still see you
Im thinking of a way to disappear
You keep on coming back to look at me
When Im asleep I feel that youre near
I see you sitting in the bedroom
Wanting me to make mad love to you
Then out of nowhere comes a flying machine
It takes you in I feel its taking me to
Chorus
Cause Im having a grand illusion
Im having a grand illusion
I feel myself flying through the atmosphere
Looking down at the Earth I know so well
Im flying farther out I know not where
Could this be heaven or is it hell
Chorus
Im having a grand illusion
Im having a grand illusion
Outer space is a sad place
When you dont know where youre going to
It goes on forever
So dont look back
Ill find my destination with you
Im coming down but I still see you
Youre fading fast what can I do ***
My life was empty and so far away
Now my soul is looking for you
Chorus
Cause Im having a grand Illusion
Im having a grand illusion
Im having a grand illusion
Im having a grand illusion
***This is the correct wording for that particular line. I have no idea why I said \"Sinking\" instead of \"Fading\" there. Since it was a decent take, we let it stand. Thinking back, I wish I had gone ahead and changed it to the correct word.
