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 illustration 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 clichéd, 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 clichéd, 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
