Aimee Mann - Invisible Ink lyrics

there comes a time when you swim or sink so i jumped in the drink cause i couldn't make myself clear maybe i wrote in invisible ink oh i've tried to think how i could've made it appear but another illustration is wasted cause the results are the same i feel like a ghost who's trying to move your hands over some ouija board in the hopes i can spell out my name what some might take for magic at first glance is just sleight of hand depending on what you believe something gets lost when you translate it's hard to keep straight perspective is everything and i know now which is which and what angle i ought to look at it from i suppose i should be happy to be misread-- better be that than some of the other things i have become well, nobody wants to hear this take the plot is cliched, the jokes are stale and baby we've all heard it before oh, i could get specific but nobody needs a catalog with details of a love i can't sell anymore and aside from that, this chain of reaction, baby, is losing a link though i'd hope you'd know what i tried to tell you, and if you don't i could draw you a picture in invisible ink but nobody wants to hear this tale the plot is cliched, the jokes are stale and baby we've all heard it before oh, i could get specific but nobody needs a catalog with details of a love i can't sell anymore
