Illusions (Barbara)

Intro:
Why do birds suddenly appear
Every time you are near

Verse 1:
I look outside my window and catch a glimpse of the Loch Ness monster
They call me “chicken” yet I have an irrational fear of roosters
Every Christmas I cry when I relearn there is no Santa Claus
So I stuff myself down the chimney just because
I remember things like the drunken freaks in Vegas that elope
Things slow down, my life is perfect like I am on dope
My head moves around with a bobble-head motion
Every day I see Atlantis rise up from the ocean

Bridge:
B is for Barbara, C is for Crow (cuckoo, cuckoo)
R is Rosie, J is for Joe (cuckoo, cuckoo)

Chorus:
Ch-Ch-Ch-Chia Barbara
Ma-Mamma Mia Barbara
Goodbye See ya Barbara
Don’t want to be ya Barbara
Hallucination, Imagination
Illusion
Confusion, Delusion
Illusion

Verse 2:
My life goal is to take a bath with a toaster
When I drive to town I pretend I’m on a roller coaster
I knock out my teeth and see the tooth fairy under the pillows
Everywhere I go the echo ricochets of the applause
I live life like I’m looking through a kaleidoscope
Like I’m riding a steamroller across a tightrope
When my mind is sick I drink gasoline as my death potion
Then I light a match and swallow it to heal my emotion

Bridge:
B is for Barbara, C is for Crow (cuckoo, cuckoo)
R is Rosie, J is for Joe (cuckoo, cuckoo)

Chorus:
Ch-Ch-Ch-Chia Barbara
Ma-Mamma Mia Barbara
Goodbye See ya Barbara
Don’t want to be ya Barbara
Hallucination, Imagination
Illusion
Confusion, Delusion

Verse 3:
I see birds
I’m a normal
Hazard
I see rats
I’m a casual
Th-reat

Chorus:
Ch-Ch-Ch-Chia Barbara
Ma-Mamma Mia Barbara
Goodbye See ya Barbara
Don’t want to be ya Barbara
