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
