lyrics

They're turning off the service down at Berlin Central Station
A merciful demise or a slow capitulation
You cut me down to size in a violent confrontation
Or an exercise in silent contemplation

Cold shoulder's growing older as we're waiting under cover
There's nothing to be gained by ignoring one another
Your reaction was insane when I compared you to your mother
How could tension like this come between two lovers

I decide which direction I walk
I determine the train of my thoughts
Exactly which juncture do I fit into your plan
The invisible man

Your wording is articulate, your argument's elusive
A temporary temperament that's borderline abusive
But complements and curses are not mutually exclusive
This negligence is nothing but conclusive

A screaming muscle car that which knows no destination
And the driver's unaware that there's no brakes in operation
The wheels are falling off and the engine needs replacing
This imminent disaster of our making

I decide which direction I walk
I determine the train of my thoughts
Exactly which juncture do I fit into your plan
The invisible man

This is not how it's supposed to be
I will create my own reality
Some day I will be free and cured of this invisibility
But you just don't see

A momentary moment for a rough approximation
The merciless arrival of a further complication
Try making an obligatory deductible donation
To take a piss in a Parisian station

A screaming muscle car that which knows no destination
And the driver's unaware that there's no brakes in operation
The wheels are falling off and the engine needs replacing
This imminent disaster of our making

I decide which direction I walk
I determine the train of my thoughts
You can talk all you want but you won't understand
All the times that my ego has died by your hand
Exactly which juncture do I fit into your plan
The invisible man
