The Third Invention Lyrics
(Written By Cohen, Performed In "Night Magic")
(Angels) Blindly he
worked At his third invention Taking the chances Of one who is
lost
Feeling his way To a cleaner expression Of whatever it
was He stumbled across
All for the sake Of a possible woman He
goaded himself With a technical hope
For the sake of his
longing We came to the window He put on his cloths And he walked
through the smoke
All for the sake Of an interested woman Riding
to him On a flicker of hope
Some tourist of beauty In full
disappointment Ready to fall In love with a ghost
And here was his
ghost With his third invention The usual claim To the highest
reward
And now it was ready His third invention Ready to
fall In love with the world
And he falls back And she comes
forward The eye of his labour Measures them both
And she lies in
the arms Of his third invention And back in his room He commences the
fourth
This is the work Of the highest pretension An
automatic Ode to the world
O deep in comfort O full
employment He's lost to the fourth He's lost to the third.
