just an inch away from your face
I am staring into your eyes
you would be surprised if you could see
what’s an inch from your face
but it’s impossible
I am invisible

Tiptoeing and holding my breath
almost knocking over a lamp

barely able to contain a sneeze
I am invisible
I am invisible
I am invisible

Did you notice something?
Was there somebody there?
No apparently not.
There you felt it again
something creeping around
that you can’t see

doing jumping jacks in the bank
dancing through the supermarket
spinning in the courtroom on one leg
I am invisible
I am invisible
I am invisible

there are details
that I haven’t worked out
like when I eat my lunch
does it disappear
or do you see it going all the way down?

Did the cat just learn how to fly?
no I’m only holding him up
did the cat turn on the dishwasher?
no I’m holding his paw
pushing down on the switch
making it look like he’s
doing it by himself
cause I’m invisible
I am invisible
I am invisible

The 24th instalment of TMBG’s 52-week Dial-A-Song project in 2015.

in a summer house out on Cape Cod a number of years ago
my cousin Charles heard over the radio on WEEI
the story of an automobile that had driven from its garage
and killed a number of couples kissing down by the oceanside

Charles thought about the ocean’s waves down the road just a mile
and as he turned off the radio he saw with his own eyes
the very same door handle they spoke of hooked to that radio dial
and the summer breeze blew in the window
that hadn’t been open before

so if you hear a radio you had best beware
be sure there’s not a car around
because the legend still remains
there’s a car without a handle
and that car is still at large
there’s a car without a handle
and that car is still at large
