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 should 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

You lit a candle

Blessings in the cold night air



I will feel your breath as you turn to go

I will watch you leave

From somewhere up high

As you cross the pardk 

In the Autumn light

In the Autumn light

In the Autumn light



If I close my eyes

Ican see where you live

Climb the winding stairs

Up to your apartment

The scent of you preparing

His evening meal

I ust 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 scram 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.
