The world's gone mad |
| And I have lost touch |
| I shouldn't admit it |
| But I have. |
| It slipped away while I was distracted |
| I haven't changed |
| I swear I haven't changed |
| How did this happen? I didn't feel myself |
| Evaporating... |
My body has gone |
| But my eyes remain |
| Hovering. Witnessing. |
| Cold as a ghost ..watching the streets |
| Sheltering in doorways of |
| Venice, Vienna, |
| Budapest, Krakow, and Amsterdam |
I have become the invisible man |
The invisible heart beating against you |
| The invisible pulse silently thumping |
I shout my name in the public places |
| No one seems to notice |
| No one understands |
| I stand perfectly still |
| In the middle of the road |
| I hold my nerve |
| I hold my nerve |
| Hold my nerve |
| But the cars don't swerve |
I will hear your prayers |
| As you whisper alone |
| I am the one you felt was close |
| Close behind you in St. Stephen |
| You lit a candle |
| Blessings in the cold night air |
I'll feel your breath as you turn to go |
| I'll watch you leave |
| From somewhere up high |
| As you cross the park |
| In the Autumn light |
| In the Autumn light |
| In the Autumn light |
If I close my eyes |
| I can see where you live |
| Climb the winding stairs |
| Up to your apartment |
| The scent of you preparing |
| His evening meal |
| I must watch in dread |
| When he's cruel to you |
| In horrified silence |
| As you make love |
| I cannot lift a hand |
| Lift a hand to stop him |
| I don't exist What can I do? |
| What can I do? |
I will scream in your ear |
| As you're passing by |
| I will wrap my arms around you |
| You won't hear, you won't feel me |
| I will walk stride for stride with you |
| I will try to help |
| When you stumble |
| You will stumble through me. |
I have become the invisible man |
| It's all I am |
| Invisible |
I have read all your letters |
| I know what you contain |
| I have dreamt your dreams |
| My head.. |
| My head is haunted |
| I will scream again |
| I am perfectly sane |
| I am perfectly sane |
| But I am |
| The invisible man |
| I am |
| The invisible man |
Talk to me |
| Acknowledge me |
| Confide in me |
| Confess to me ... or |
| Leave me be |
| Leave me be. |
