Roma Courtney: [Admiring Ruth Rogen's portrait] Isn't she beautiful?::Paul Bavian: Yes, but repulsive... like a female spider that kills her mate when she's through with it. She would have killed me if I hadn't gotten rid of her first.
Confucius: [Opening card] Treat all supernatural beings with resprct but keep aloof from them.
Grant Wilson: Tell me, doctor, was she really crazy?::Dr. Carl Houston: Grant, I believe she was quite sane but undoubtedly one of the most dangerous women in criminal history,::Grant Wilson: Well, she's not dangerous any more.::Dr. Carl Houston: No, she may be more dangerous now than when they had her locked in a cell.
Dr. Carl Houston: Well, it may sound crazy, but that there's the danger of contagion. No, dear, not from the body - that's harmless - but there's... there's something else.
I saw you in a dream, it hit me like a bright light
Flashing on a screen, visions of my whole life.
I used to chase the moment of desire
Back to when my young heart burned like a fire.
It was just a, nothing but a grand illusion.
Heart was quicker than the eye.
Nothing but a grand illusion,
Legend in my own mind.
I held you in my arms till the other side of midnight.
Kept you in my mind, you got me through some long nights.
Standing on the threshold of desire,
Caught between the madness and the fire.
It was just a, nothing but a grand illusion.
Heart was quicker than the eye.
Nothing but a grand illusion,
Legend in my own mind.
It was all a grand illusion.
Hand was quicker than the eye.
Nothing but a grand illusion,
Legends in our own minds.
I used to chase the moments of desire
Back to when my young heart burned like a fire.
It was just a, nothing but a, it was all a grand illusion.
Nothing but a grand illusion.
It was all a grand illusion,
Legend in my own mind.
It was just a grand illusion.
Nothing but a grand illusion.
It was just a grand illusion,
Legends in our own minds.
Oh, grand illusion like to fade away
Take my love and go out to play, oh yeah
It's no intrusion, it's like a rainy day
That can wash the clouds away of this pain inside
Come on now, boy, put it on the line
Take some space just to ease your mind
And to think it through
Come on now, boy, put it on the line
Take some space just to ease your mind
And to think it through
Harmony, we need harmony
Find the melody that puts our hearts in tune
Harmony, we need harmony
Simple symphony that makes us feel brand new
Harmony
Harmony

If you wanna love somebody.
How about cruisin’ in the night.
If you wanna love somebody.
Why don’t you hold a stranger tight.
These eyes might amuse you.
Don’t let them abuse you, no, no.
Welcome to the grand illusion. Look what you have found.
Love is not an institution.
And lonely hearts go around and around.
Love is just a grand illusion. When you’re all alone.
There is only one conclusion.
So find a love of your own.
If you wanna love somebody.
Would it be right to pay the price?
If you wanna love somebody.
Maybe there is no paradise.
These eyes might amuse you.
Don’t let them abuse you, no, no.
Welcome to the grand illusion. Look what you have found.
Love is not an institution.
And lonely hearts go around and around.
Love is just a grand illusion. When you’re all alone.
There is only one conclusion.
So find a love of your own.
Don’t believe in neon lovers. Go and find a heart that covers.
All your wishes all your dreams. Life’s not really what it seems.
When you go out there tomorrow. You might find that day is borrowed.
I told you the answer’s easy. Shout it out. Shout it out.
Welcome to the grand illusion. Look what you have found.
Love is not an institution.
And lonely hearts go around and around.
Love is just a grand illusion. When you’re all alone.
There is only one conclusion.
The obliteration of your isolation
The complete explosion of your fondest notion
This disintegration is your elevation
It's a grand illusion, it's a grand illusion
You're crying, you're trying so hard now
You'll be laughing a hundred thousand years
There is only one day and tonight is the night
It's a grand illusion
The devastation of your separation
The disillusion of your constitution
It's exhilaration, it's your liberation
It's a grand illusion, it's a grand illusion
You're crying, you're trying so hard now
You'll be laughing a hundred thousand years
There is only one day and tonight is the night
It's a grand illusion
It's a grand illusion
It's a grand illusion
It's a grand illusion
Illusion
Grand illusion
Grand illusion
Welcome to the Grand Illusion
Come on in and see what's happening
Pay the Price get your tickets for the show,
The stage is set the band starts playing
suddenly your heart is pounding, wishing secretly
you were a star.
But don't be fooled by the Radio, the TV or the
magazines,
They show you photographs on how your life should be,
there just someone else's fantasies,
So if you think your life is complete confusion,
'cause you never win the game,
just remeber that its a grand illusion
and deep inside we're all the same, we're all the same
(instrumentals from the orcestra and rock band)
So if you think your life is complete confusion,
'cause you're neighbor's got made
just remember that its a grand illusion
and deep inside we're all the same
America spells competition,
Join us in our blind ambition
get yourself a brand new motor car
But some day soon, we'll stop to ponder
what on earth's this spell we're under,
we made the grade and still we wonder
