I was committed to life and then commuted to the outskirts
With all the love in the world
Living for thirty minutes at a time

With a break in the middle for adverts
But it´s a wonderful world within these cinema walls
Where a shower of affection becomes Niagara Falls
And you wish she could step down from the screen
To your seat in the stalls

´Cause if stars are only painted on the ceiling above
Then who can you turn to and who do you love?
I want to get out while I still can
I want to be like Harry Houdini
Now I´m the invisible man

My head is spinning round faster and faster
Here I stand on the edge of disaster
I´m shattered like a piece of crystal porcelain or alabaster

´Cause if stars are only painted on the ceiling above
Then who can you turn to and who do you love?
I want to get out while I still can

Crowds surround loudspeakers hanging from the lampposts
Listening to the murder mystery
Meanwhile someone´s hiding in the classroom
Forging the books of history
Never mind there´s a good film showing tonight
Where they hang everybody who can read and write
Oh that could never happen here
But then again it might

´Cause if stars are only painted on the ceiling above
Then who can you turn to and who do you love?
I want to get out while I still can
I want to be like Harry Houdini
Now I´m the invisible man
Now I´m the invisible man
Now I´m the invisible man
Now I´m the invisible man
And you won´t see me
