Curtis Mayfield - To Be Invisible lyrics

To be invisible Will be my claim to fame A man with no name That way, I won't have to feel the pain Indispensable Just a plain old human being Today, don't mean a thing In a world that's so mean A world that seems not for me So privately, I'll be invisible That way, I won't have to explain a thing, if you know what I mean I won't even have to be here, on the scene It's so ridiculous But the strife and the bliss Will go right on through, right on through me To have missed All the things that hurt your soul No one would ever know They'd never know Life so preciously Just don't seem to be As free as they claim freedom to be Things are going fast To have found that all is in the past To have to take what you can get Sure can make a heart upset Inconspicuous I must behave myself For somebody else Who may have a little fame, fortune and wealth It's so ridiculous But the strife and the bliss Will go right on through, right on through me To have missed A world that seems not for me So privately, I'll be invisible That way, I won't have to explain a thing, if you know what I mean I won't even have to be here, on the scene It's so ridiculous But the strife and the bliss Will go right on through, right on through me To have missed All the things that hurt your soul No one would ever know They'd never know Life so preciously Just don't seem to me As free as they claim freedom to be Things are going fast To have found that all is in the past To have to take what you can get Sure can make a heart upset So I'll be invisible Invisible Invisible
