The Invisible Man Lyrics - Elvis Costello

I was committed to life and then commuted to the outskirts 

With all the love in the world 

Living for thirty minutes at a time with a break in the middle for adverts 

But it's a wonderful world within these cinema walls 

Where a shower of affection becomes niagara falls 

And you wish she could step down from the screen to your seat in the stalls 

But if stars are only painted on the ceiling above 

Then who can you turn to and who do you love 

I want to get out while I still can 

I want to be like harry houdini 

Now I'm the invisible man

5 Totally Underrated Christmas Songs 

My head is spinning round faster and faster 

Here I stand on the edge of disaster 

I'm shattered like a piece of crystal porcelain or alabaster 

Crowds surround loudspeakers hanging from the lampposts 

Listening to the murder mystery 

Meanwhile someone's hiding in the classroom 

Forging books of history 

Never mind there's a good film showing tonight 

Where they hang everyone everybody who can read and write 

Oh that could never happen here but then again it might
