[Verse 1]
Tell me somethin' good
Kill the melodrama
I was in the poppy fields sipping belladonna
Inhalin' prana 'till a broken promise fell upon us
They don't sell records, they just sell personas
Pariahs seein' beyond the piranhas snappin' pictures
Of prima donnas and Tony Montana action figures
You take it all so serious
Need to ease up a bit
Need a Hollywood agent and publicist
Need a new buck for the fickle newcomers
And if they don't like it tell 'em "suck a pickled cucumber"
Cold as Cusack
I'm playin' catch up, it's movin' too fast
But in the wrong direction with adolescents and new jack's
Every day's a blessing
Every day's a holiday
Things are looking up now I'm destined to take it all the way
A beautiful illusion sweet as apple pie
If she bats an eyelash when you see her passin' by say
Hi!
[Chorus]
Miss Maya superstars are fallin' from the sky
Everything is everything but do we live a lie
Beautiful illusion show me what you're trying to hide
Forbidden fruit, the simple truth, an apple of my eye
Miss Maya superstars are fallin' from the sky
Everything is everything but do we live a lie
Beautiful illusion show me what you're trying to hide
Forbidden fruit, the simple truth, an apple of my eye
[Verse 2]
I spy someone tying off, gettin' high
In a poppy field, noddin' out beneath a night sky
If you catch a falling star, put it in your pocket
Then take it down the block try to flip it and turn a profit
You take yourself so serious
Need to ease up
Relax, take a load off
Kick your feet up
I'm on the pavement
Lucy's in the sky with diamonds
And psilocybin mushroom clouds with silver linings
A full moon halo
A melancholic angel
That's hidin' somethin' from me
I'm trying to work the angles
Sweet talkin'
Sleep walkin'
Through the streets
Watching judas priests
Offer eulogies
Lying through their teeth
I've been so lost
Flyin' high on, transcendental planes
You take the clear blue skies with the torrential rains
A beautiful illusion sweet as apple pie
If she bats an eyelash when you see her passin' by say
Hi!
[Chorus]
Miss Maya superstars are fallin' from the sky
Everything is everything but do we live a lie
Beautiful illusion show me what you're trying to hide
Forbidden fruit, the simple truth, the apple of my eye
Miss Maya superstars are fallin' from the sky
Everything is everything but do we live a lie
Beautiful illusion show me what you're trying to hide
Forbidden fruit, the simple truth, the apple of my eye
[Verse 3]
Tell me somethin' good
Help me see the light
My mind's movin' too fast I can't sleep at night
The world's movin' too fast and coming to a close
The greatest show on earth that's undisputable
You take it so serious and rarely ever smile
I know that when my time comes I'm going out in style
A platinum halo, and diamonds in the sky
And a pair of wings for every fallen angel on the rise
Now Miss Maya show me what it is you're trying to hide
Everything is everything but do we live a lie?
Every shining star in heaven's fallin' from the sky
Beautiful illusion, rotten apple of my eye
