Rock 'N' Roll Is Where I Hide

I should tell you
About my power
About my mysterious kink
I used to go about
Fully believing
I was invisible

The legendary
Invisible rock singer
I would open my mouth and speak forth
No blues no news just hey mate, yeah you over here, boo
Just for a moment
I would materialise

Anyway
People started to talk
Started to talk about this
Legendary mysterious loud mouth invisible rock singer cowboy
I began to act cool
Come back
Materialise
Even though I wasn't meaning to

People began to come and see this invisible loud mouth rock singer cowboy
You know soon
People would sit behind me at cafes and say he thinks he's invisible watch
Jees you know I hate to keep em waiting i tried my best I got quite upset

Then I thought
Ahh it's not such a bad thing
To be seen as a guy who thinks he can't be seen
Even though I know I can
It's quite a trip

I mean in certain circumstances certain places
Anything goes if your known
If you've got a name around town as a guy who'll do anything if nobody's looking
But if any body's looking
'Cause they think he thinks he can't be seen
I mean they scare

Like they think I can't see em
It's like I'm flying
Like I'm invisible
Ah you know soon

Everybody's looking
Because they think I think nobody's looking
So I can't not be seen so I'm not looking at them I know exactly where they are

And even if I was they couldn't see me because they're too busy waiting for me to dematerialise right there in front of them

Actually
What a place to hide
I mean say you were a spy
An undercover man
Somebody on the run
What better place to disappear
What a cover
A lead singer in a rock and roll band

You're poor
You're stoned
You're a slave to a unnameable half forgotten ambition
You're just another guy on the lost highway
A ramblin' man
A pirate of love
A rider on the range

A seventh son of a seventh son
A love rustler
A desperado
A bastard right royal historically entitled to their band

The man in black Jon the conquerer the worlds forgotten boy
Meat man Mr blues

The forward fog the silver fox the little cloud that cried
The best dressed chicken in town
