Red haired woman on the corner
She's got a run in her stockings
And she is missing a finger on her left hand
And my god she's fucking beautiful
I know a man who hides god in his beard
He's been driving his cab for 25 years
And he knows all the secret lives of this city
And god he's fucking beautiful
And I was there and you was there
And we created this
Grand illusion
Be quiet don't ruin this for me
This is what I always wanted
I don't know if I told you
But i'm better now healthier now
I stopped eating meat and I'm down
To just three cigarettes a day
I don't do too many drugs any more
And I've traded my whiskey for wine
And I don't hurt myself just to feel
And I won't hurt you just because I can
And I was there and you was there
And we created this
Grand illusion
Be quiet don't ruin this for me
This is what I always wanted
Maya, Maya
Oh it's painful
Oh it hurts
Maya, Maya
It was beautiful
Nothing hurt
