The Invisible Woman

The kettle starts screaming it's early warning call 
And the newspaper's between you like a solid brick wall
She asks how you're feeling but you can't recall
Any kind of feeling you ever had at all
She moves in slow motion so you'll have time to see
Like sun tan lotion on a waveless sea
You pick up a camera that an idiot can use
But nothing develops so its back to the news
You look at the floor but you only see one pair of shoes

CHORUS
You'll never know, how you missed her all this time
You will never know, what it's like to be her
It should be easy to free her, if only you could see her
The invisible woman

Did she walk by? Was that her aroma?
The only thing left that'll bring you out of a coma
Was that a question, is that an answer?
In five minutes flat she'll look like a limbo dancer
She'll look like she's suffering some some form of cancer
Oh baby don't fall asleep, stay in position
That's when you suddenly come into vision

CHORUS

Instrumental passage

Is there anyone in there, is there anyone in there
It just looked like an empty chair, however hard you stare
Oh baby don't fall asleep, stay in position
That's when you suddenly come into vision
Will you ever see her, it should be easy to free her,
what must it be like to be her, the invisible woman

If only you could see her, it should be easy to free her,
what must it be like to be her, the invisible woman
the invisible woman, the invisible woman, the invisible woman
