Lyrics for The Invisible Man by Elvis Costello:
| | | Artist: | Elvis Costello |
| | Album: | Punch The Clock | | Track: | The Invisible Man | | | | Date Added: | 18/10/2007 | | Views: | 65 | | | | Lyrics: | 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
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 lamposts
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 | | | |  Reddit | X / Twitter | Facebook | Copy link |
