Lyrics: Hogarth
Music: Hogarth/Kelly/Mosley/Rothery/Trewavas
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
VeniceVienna
BudapestKrakowand 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 hearyou 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.
