<br>
With no shadow or shade
The naked flame flickered<br>
 
Clothes lie where they’re thrown<br>
 
It’s one hell of a big torch<br>
 
To carry alone<br>
The naked flame flickered
<br>
 
She might brush your face with the hem of her gown<br>
Clothes lie where they’re thrown
But it’s hard to wake up with your silly cracked crown<br>
 
<br>
It’s one hell of a big torch
An empty of shot glass<br>
 
A shocking blue pane<br>
To carry alone
The chamber rolled vacant<br>
 
And loaded again and again and again<br>

Return to me Invisible lady<br>
She might brush your face with the hem of her gown
Where are the rewards for all the promises I made?<br>
 
Oh where have you gone?<br>

I fell for the Invisible lady<br>
An empty of shot glass

Through a curtain of jet hung on her shoulder<br>

Their secrets to keep<br>
 
Lashes invite you where others dove in<br>

Others dove in and were not seen again<br>
 
<br>
I still sing the words of all of the songs that she gave me
His body bobbled blue in the cold morning lake<br>
 
Admitting that he knew you was his first mistake<br>

His chilly fixed eyes<br>
 
Indicated no blame<br>

lyrics for
Invisible Lady

Nails tap the counter
Steps echo and fade
Is that a face in the window?
With no shadow or shade

The naked flame flickered
Clothes lie where they’re thrown
It’s one hell of a big torch
To carry alone

She might brush your face with the hem of her gown
But it’s hard to wake up with your silly cracked crown

An empty of shot glass
A shocking blue pane
The chamber rolled vacant
And loaded again and again and again

Return to me Invisible lady
Where are the rewards for all the promises I made?
Oh where have you gone?
And who on earth do I have to thank?
The sheet below is blank

I fell for the Invisible lady
I still sing the words of all of the songs that she gave me
The ribbon’s stretched tight
But every time that I start to type
The key won’t seem to strike

The ages that I’d waste staring at that hourglass
The minutes I spend for seconds to pass
Through a curtain of jet hung on her shoulder

Through a curtain of jet hung on her shoulder

Return to me Invisible lady
Where are the rewards for all the promises I made?
Oh where have you gone?
And who on earth do I have to thank?
The sheet below is blank

Pools of shallow and
Pools of deep
Sometimes they narrow
Their secrets to keep
Lashes invite you where others dove in
Others dove in and were not seen again

His body bobbled blue in the cold morning lake
Admitting that he knew you was his first mistake
His chilly fixed eyes
Indicated no blame
Despite what they say, no reflection remained

It’s an empty of shot glass
A shocking blue pane
The chamber rolled vacant
And loaded again and again and again and again and again and again
