Marillion - Invisible Man Lyrics
(HogarthKellyMosleyRotheryTrewavas)The world's gone madAnd I have lost touchI shouldn't admit itBut I have.It slipped away while I was distractedI haven't changedI swear I haven't changedHow did this happen?I didn't feel myselfEvaporating...My body has goneBut my eyes remainHovering. Witnessing.Cold as a ghost ..watching the streetsSheltering in doorways ofVenice, Vienna,Budapest, Krakow, and AmsterdamI have become the invisible manThe invisible heart beating against youThe invisible pulse silently thumpingI shout my name in the public placesNo one seems to noticeNo one understandsI stand perfectly stillIn the middle of the roadI hold my nerveI hold my nerveHold my nerveBut the cars don't swerveI will hear your prayersAs you whisper aloneI am the one you felt was closeClose behind you in St.StephenYou lit a candleBlessings in the cold night airI'll feel your breath as you turn to goI'll watch you leaveFrom somewhere up highAs you cross the parkIn the Autumn lightIn the Autumn lightIn the Autumn lightIf I close my eyesI can see where you liveClimb the winding stairsUp to your apartmentThe scent of you preparingHis evening mealI must watch in dreadWhen he's cruel to youIn horrified silenceAs you make loveI cannot lift a handLift a hand to stop himI don't exist What can I do?What can I do?I will scream in your earAs you're passing byI will wrap my arms around youYou won't hear, you won't feel me-acap
