|
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.
