Invisible Man Lyrics

Everyone was pointing, staring, whispering, and speculating as

They prepared to peel the mask off of his face

The ten-year trial was finally over

The witnesses for the defense had been exiled in disgrace

Reporters, guards and cameramen kept straining for a view

Like a child at some parade on a rainy Veterans Day

Eating cotton candy with an American flag in his left hand

Wishing he was older, taller, or that the sun would come out

And the umbrellas would go away

He's an invisible man

On an invisible flight

Hope that you don't run into him tonight

Everyone was pointing, staring, whispering, and speculating as

They walked him from the squad car to the jail

The ten-year manhunt was finally over

The finest criminal scientists had eventually picked up on his trail

Reporters, guards, cameramen and gossip columnists

Dangled microphones and questions in front of his eyes

While he smiled a sarcastic smile and shook his head

Being pushed and shoved and jostled around, poked and prodded

Like a newborn baby at a family reunion

As it is sprawled out on the living room floor wishing it was lying in bed

He's an invisible man

On an invisible flight

Hope that you don't run into him tonight

Everyone was pointing, staring, whispering, and speculating as

They watched the story about the set up and the fraud on the evening news

The ten-year-old search for a suitable scapegoat was finally over

This was the answer! This was the crime

This was the source and the driving force behind the blues

Reporters, detectives, cameramen, and interested spectators

We're mauling evidence at the scene of the conspicuous crime

Like a passionately evil princess who stands there in front of her magic mirror

And doesn't realize that the answer has been there all the time

He's an invisible man

On an invisible flight

Hope that you don't run into him tonight

Everyone was pointing, staring, whispering, and speculating as

They prepared to peel the mask off of his face

Years of insurrection and frustration once locked safely in the closet

Leaked out viciously upon the hallowed halls of justice

Spreading jealousy and anger all over the place

Reporters, winos, vagrants, and interested spectators

Wearing thigh high leather boots and plastic sacks upon their feet

We're waiting impatiently to hear the bailiff's call

When the jury filed in, he was grinning a grin

Because they took off his mask only to find that he wasn't there at all

He's an invisible man

On an invisible flight

Hope that you don't run into him tonight
