Aimee Mann Invisible Ink Lyrics

Invisible Ink Lyrics

There comes a time when you swim or sink
So I jumped in the drink
Cause I
couldn't make myself clear

Maybe I wrote in invisible ink
Oh I've
tried to think
How I could have made it appear

But another
illlustration is wasted
Cause the results are the same
I feel like a
ghost who's trying to move your hands
over some Ouija board in the hopes I
can spell out my name

What some take for magic at first glance
Is
just sleight of hand depending on what you believe
Something gets lost when
you translate
It's hard to keep straight
Perspective is
everything

And I know now which is which and what angle I oughta look at
it from
I suppose I should be happy to be misread-
Better be that than
some of the other things I have become


But nobody wants to hear this
tale
The plot is clichd, the jokes are stale
And baby we've all heard it
all before
Oh i could get specific but
Nobody needs a catalog
With
details of love I can't sell anymore

And aside from that, this chain of
reaction,
baby, is losing a link
Though I'd hope you'd know what I tried
to tell you
And if you don't I could draw you a picture in invisible
ink

But nobody wants to hear this tale
The plot is clichd, the jokes
are stale
And baby we've all heard it all before
Oh i could get specific
but
Nobody needs a catalog
With details of love I can't sell anymore
