The Invisible Man Lyrics - Marillion

The world's gone mad 

And I have lost touch 

I shouldn't admit it 

But I have 

It slipped away while I was distracted 

I haven't changed 

I swear I haven't changed 

How did this happen? 

I didn't feel myself 

evaporating... 

My body has gone 

But my eyes remain 

Hovering, witnessing 

Cold as a ghost... watching the streets 

Sheltering in doorways of 

Venice, Vienna, Budapest, Krakow and Amsterdam 

I have become the invisible Man 

The invisible heart beating against you 

The invisible pulse silently thumping 

I should my name in the public places 

No one seems to notice 

No one understands 

I stand perfectly still 

In the middle of the road 

I hold my nerve 

I hold my nerve 

Hold my nerve 

But the cars don't swerve 

I will hear your prayers 

As you whisper alone 

I am the one you felt was close 

You lit a candle 

Blessings in the cold night air 

I will feel your breath as you turn to go 

I will watch you leave 

From somewhere up high 

As you cross the pardk 

In the Autumn light 

In the Autumn light 

In the Autumn light 

If I close my eyes 

Ican see where you live 

Climb the winding stairs 

Up to your apartment 

The scent of you preparing 

His evening meal 

I ust watch in dread 

When he's cruel to you 

In horrified silence 

As you make love 

I cannot lift a hand 

Lift a hand to stop him 

I don't exist What can I do? 

What can I do? 

I will scream in your ear 

As you're passing by 

I will wrap my arms around you 

You won't hear, you won't feel me 

I will walk stride for stride with you 

I will try to help 

When you stumble 

You will stumble through me. 

I have become the invisible man 

It's all I am 

Invisible 

I have read all your letters 

I know what you contain 

I have dreamt your dreams 

My head... 

My head is haunted 

I will scram again 

I am perfectly sane 

I am perfectly sane 

But I am 

The invisible man 

I am The invisible man 

Talk to me 

Acknowledge me 

Confide in me 

Confess to me ... or 

Leave me be 

Leave me be.
