Lyrics
INVISIBLE MAN
She?s just the pretty girl
All the pretty girls wanna be
I?m the invisible man
A love that she never will see
I?m not a secret agent
But I can keep a secret or three
She never had a man who wanted
What she wanted to be
I?m the invisible man
A lover that she never will see
I?m the invisible man
A lover she never will see
You might think you can see me
But here?s a surprise
Your eyes can deceive you
Cuz I?m in disguise
I?m the invisible man
In my space I?m erased
I never existed
There isn?t a trace
I?m the invisible man
A lover that she never will see
I?m the invisible man
A lover she never will see
She?s just the pretty girl
All the pretty girls wanna be
She?s a colorblind woman
But I know that she will never see me
I?m the invisible man
A lover that she never will see
I?m the invisible man
A lover she never will see
