I wish I were no absent friend
Playing second bill
I wish I were no empty shell
Dying to be filled -
Dying to be filled -
I suffer being smaller print
Craving to be bold
I wish I were no mummy (dear)
Trying to unfold
Young, but somehow old -
Don’t you leave without a trace
Don’t you vanish like a tan
Don’t you smile without a face
Don’t you disappear – just because you can
Invisible man …
Invisible man …
I wish I were a better man
And handed better deals
I wish I were no open wound
Desperate to heal -
Desperate to heal -
I wish I were no lonely moon
With a cold and distant beam
I wish I had a remedy
For everything – it seems…
I wish I had a dream -
Don’t you leave without a trace
In a slow-departing van
Don’t you smile without a face
Don’t you disappear – just because you can
Invisible man …
Invisible man …
My invisible man …
