To Be Invisible Lyrics


To be invisible
Will be my claim to fame
A man with no name
That way, I won't have to feel the painIndispensable
Just a plain old human being
Today, don't mean a thing
In a world that's so meanA world that seems not for me
So privately, I'll be invisible
That way, I won't have to explain a thing, if you know what I mean
I won't even have to be here, on the sceneIt's so ridiculous
But the strife and the bliss
Will go right on through, right on through me
To have missedAll the things that hurt your soul
No one would ever know
They'd never knowLife so preciously
Just don't seem to be
As free as they claim freedom to beThings are going fast
To have found that all is in the past

To have to take what you can get
Sure can make a heart upsetInconspicuous
I must behave myself
For somebody else
Who may have a little fame, fortune and wealthIt's so ridiculous
But the strife and the bliss
Will go right on through, right on through me
To have missedA world that seems not for me
So privately, I'll be invisible
That way, I won't have to explain a thing, if you know what I mean
I won't even have to be here, on the sceneIt's so ridiculous
But the strife and the bliss
Will go right on through, right on through me
To have missedAll the things that hurt your soul
No one would ever know
They'd never knowLife so preciously
Just don't seem to me
As free as they claim freedom to beThings are going fast
To have found that all is in the past
To have to take what you can get
Sure can make a heart upsetSo I'll be invisible
Invisible
Invisible

Curtis Mayfield (June 3, 1942 – December 26, 1999) was an American soul, funk and rhythm and blues, singer-songwriter and guitarist from Chicago, Illinois. Mayfield is probably best known for his anthemic music with The Impressions and for the soundtrack to the blaxploitation film Superfly. Perhaps because he didn't cross over to the pop audience as heavily as Motown's stars, it may be that the scope of Curtis Mayfield's talents and contributions have yet to be fully recognized. Judged merely by his records alone, the man's legacy is enormous.
