Lyrics:

To be invisible

Will be my claim to fame

A man with no name

That way, I won't have to feel the pain

Indispensable

Just a plain old human being

Today, don't mean a thing

In a world that's so mean

A world that seems not for me

So privately, I'll be invisible

That way, I won't have to explain a thing, if you know what I mean

I won't even have to be here, on the scene

It's so ridiculous

But the strife and the bliss

Will go right on through, right on through me

To have missed

All the things that hurt your soul

No one would ever know

They'd never know

Life so preciously

Just don't seem to be

As free as they claim freedom to be

Things are going fast

To have found that all is in the past

To have to take what you can get

Sure can make a heart upset

Inconspicuous

I must behave myself

For somebody else

Who may have a little fame, fortune and wealth

It's so ridiculous

But the strife and the bliss

Will go right on through, right on through me

To have missed

A world that seems not for me

So privately, I'll be invisible

That way, I won't have to explain a thing, if you know what I mean

I won't even have to be here, on the scene

It's so ridiculous

But the strife and the bliss

Will go right on through, right on through me

To have missed

All the things that hurt your soul

No one would ever know

They'd never know

Life so preciously

Just don't seem to me

As free as they claim freedom to be

Things are going fast

To have found that all is in the past

To have to take what you can get

Sure can make a heart upset

So I'll be invisible

Still baffled at how he not only came up with this stuff, but managed to put it all together in such a cohesive way. A genius.
