Текст песни Marillion - The Invisible Man

Текст:

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. I have become the invisible man. The invisible heart beating against you. The invisible pulse silently thumping. I shout 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 nerves, I hold my nerves, Hold my nerves, But the cars don't swerve... I will hear your prayers As you whisper alone. I am the one you felt was close Close behind you in St. Stephen. You lit a candle Blessings in the cold night air. I'll feel your breath As you turn to go. I'll watch you leave. From somewhere up high As you cross the park In the Autumn light, In the Autumn light, In the Autumn light... If I close my eyes, I can see where you live. Climb the winding stairs, Up to your apartment. The scent of you preparing His evening meal. I must watch in dread, When he's cruel to you. In horrified silence As you make love I cannot lift a hand, I cannot lift a hand to stop him, 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. 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 is haunted... My head is haunted. I will scream 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.
