To Be Invisible
To be invisible
Will be my claim to fame
A girl with no name
That way I won't have to feel the pain
Indispensable
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 here on the scene
It's so ridiculous
But the strife and the bliss
Will go right on through
Right on through me to have missed
All the things that hurt your soul
No one would ever know, they'd never know
Life so preciously, just don't seem to be
As free as they claim freedom to be (freedom)
Things are going fast
To have found that 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
Who may have a little fame, fortune and wealth
It's so ridiculous
But the strife and the bliss
Will 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
But the strife and the bliss
Will go right on through
Right on through me to have missed
All the things that hurt you so
No one would ever know
No, no, no, they'd never know
(Life so preciously) life so preciously
(Just don't seem to me) just don't seem to me
As free as they claim freedom to be (freedom, freedom)
Things are going fast
To have found that all is 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, invisible, invisible
Will be my claim to fame
A girl with no name
That way I won't have to feel the pain
Indispensable
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 here on the scene
It's so ridiculous
But the strife and the bliss
Will go right on through
Right on through me to have missed
All the things that hurt your soul
No one would ever know, they'd never know
Life so preciously, just don't seem to be
As free as they claim freedom to be (freedom)
Things are going fast
To have found that all in the past
To have to take what you can get

Things are going fast
To have found that all is 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, invisible, invisible
