Invisible boxer Lyrics

I'm halfway living and I'm halfway dead

I'm headed somewhere well I hope its bed

Mouth is drier than a midday sun

I been hoping that these days were done

Cos I been fighting for a long, long time

Eyelids hanging in a slack jaw line

Sticky thinking and a rubber tongue

I been hoping that these fighting days were done

So don't you hide, don't you fold up like a butterfly

Take the pain and don't ask why

Why oh why

I'm talking me and my invisible

Me and my invisible boxer

Ring that bell

I can't take this punishment no more

I'm halfway living and I'm halfway dead

My head in heaven and my feet in lead

Another marathon I have to run

I been hoping that these days were done

Cos I been fighting for a long, long time

Taking morphine in a dry white wine

I'm hanging in there now whatever comes

I been hoping that these fighting days were done

So don't you cry, see me grinning in my linen shrine

Take the pain and don't ask why

Why oh why
