To Be Invisible
will be my claim- - to fame
A girl with no name
that way I won't have to feel the pain
Indispensible
just a plain-- old human being
Today don't mean a thing
in a world that's so mean
A world that seems not for me
so privately
I'll be invisible
That way I won't have to explain a thing
If you know what I mean
I won't even have to be her on the scene.
It's so ridiculous
of the strife and bliss
To go right on through,
right on through me to have missed
All the things that hurt you so
No one would ever know
They'd never know.
Life's so presciously
Just don't seem to be
as free as they claim freedom to be
Things are going fast
To have found it all in the past
To have to take what you can get
Sure can make a heart upset
Inconspicuous
I must behave myself
For somebody else
that may have a little fame, fortune and wealth
It's so ridiculous
of the strife and the bliss
to go right on through
right on through me to have missed.
All the world seems not for me
So privately
I'll be invisible
that way I won't have to explain a thing
If you know what I mean
I won't even have to be here
on the scene
It's so ridiculous
for the strife and the bliss
To go right on through
Right on through me to have missed
All the things that hurt you so
No one would ever know
naw naw naw they'd never know
life so preciously
just don't seem to me
as free as they claim freedom to be
Oh Oh Oh
Things are going fast
to have found it all in the past
to have to take what you can get
sure can make a heart upset
so I'll be invisible
invisible
invisible
invisible
A girl with no name
that way I won't have to feel the pain
Indispensible
just a plain-- old human being
Today don't mean a thing
in a world that's so mean
A world that seems not for me
so privately
I'll be invisible
That way I won't have to explain a thing
If you know what I mean
I won't even have to be her on the scene.
It's so ridiculous
of the strife and bliss
To go right on through,
right on through me to have missed
All the things that hurt you so
No one would ever know

so I'll be invisible
invisible
invisible
