Invisible Shield Lyrics - David Wilcox

Must be more to this 

than I'm seeing now 

Or is it my eyes 

can't tell why or how 

Not exactly clear 

something isn't right 

Fell down on my head 

Changing day to night 

I need an invisible shield 

Mama never told me it would be this way 

Stone or paper, concrete or real 

To keep from going wild 

I need an invisible shield 

Mama never said there would be days like this 

I need an invisible shield 

To keep myself alive 

Don't hear what you say 

Don't care what you think 

There you go again 

Living on the brink 

Musn't get upset 

That's the way things are 

haven't seen 'em yet 

Wonder who they are 

I need an invisible shield 

Mama never told me it would last this long 

I need an invisible shield to keep me going on 

I need an invisible shield to hide something don't know what it is 

I need an invisible shield 

To save my soul 

I really do need it 

Can't make it on my own 

I need a shelter 

Or a ride home 

What's that you say 

I think I hear you talking 

Mmmm mmmm 

Birth, death, infinity 

Twinkle of an eye 

I know you understand it 

Don't ask me why 

I need an invisible shield 

Mama never talked about a woman like you 

I need an invisible shield to see me through 

I need an invisible shield to stop me sinking all the way down 

I need an invisible shield to turn things around 

I really do need it 

Can't make it on my own 

I need a shelter 

Or a ride home
