Invisible Ink — текст песни (Aimee Mann)

There comes a time when you swim or sink
So I jumped in the drink
Cuz 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
Cuz 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 clichГ©d, 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 clichГ©d, 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
