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 SongtexteNo 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. Aus Songtexte Mania
