Lyrics
Well I should tell you about my power
About my mysterious kink
I used to go about fully believing
I was invisible
The legendary invisible rock singer
I would open my mouth and spew forth
No blues, no news, just "Hey mate, yeah you, over here!"
Boo!
Just for a moment I would materialize
Anyway, people started to talk
Started to talk about this legendary, mysterious
Loudmouth, invisible rock singer cowboy
I began to cool, come back, materialize
Even though I wasn't meaning to
People began to come and see this
Invisible, loudmouth rock singer cowboy
You know, soon people would sit behind me at cafes and say
"He thinks he's invisible, watch!"
Geez, you know I hate to keep 'em waiting
I tried my best, I got quite upset
Then I thought, ah, it's not such a bad thing
To be seen as a guy who thinks he can't be seen
Even though I know I can, it's quite a trip
I mean in certain circumstances, certain places
Anything goes if you're known
If you've got a name around town as a guy
Who'll do anything if nobody's looking
But if everybody's looking 'cause
They think he thinks he can't be seen
I mean they scared
Like they think I can't see 'em
It's like I'm blind, like I'm invisible
You know, soon everybody's looking
'Cause they think I think nobody's looking
So I can't not be seen, so I'm not looking at them
I know exactly where they are
And even if I was they couldn't see me
Because they're too busy waiting for me to
Dematerialize right there in front of 'em
Actually, what a place to hide
I mean, say you were a spy, an undercover man
Somebody on the run
What better place to disappear?
What a cover!
A lead singer in a rock 'n' roll band
You're poor, you're stoned
You're a slave to an unnameable half-begotten ambition
You're just another guy on the lost highway
A rambling man, pirate of love, rider on the range
Seventh son of a seventh son, a love rustler, a desperado
A fostered white royal historically entitled to be bad
The man in black john, the conqueror, the world's forgotten boy
Meat man, Mr. Blaze
The foe and fog, the silver fox, the little cloud that cried
The best dressed chicken in town
