To Be Invisible Lyrics - Sweet Exorcist - Curtis Mayfield

To be invisible 

Will be my claim to fame 

A man 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 

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 

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 

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 me 

As free as they claim freedom to be 

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
