Let it Go

what did I see in the mirror today when you turned out the lights and my face came away? what did you mean when I called out your name and you told me I look too much like Claude Rains? I don't know what you may think but I know what you're gonna find, the invisible man is still around but he's running out of time. the invisible man wears the emperor's clothes but the heart on his sleeve is all that shows. the telltale beats out confessions clear but he can't make you see what you don't want to hear. i don't know what you may want but I know what you're gonna get, the invisible man is out painting the town just to prove that he ain't dead yet. i'm tired of street lights growing dim when I walk past. I shouldn't have to lose my soul to make things last. Marcel Marceau performs for the blind and the sun and the moon and the stars still shine. could it be that the problem lies in the beautiful beholder's eyes? i don't know what you may think but I know what you're gonna find, the invisible man has just left town and it looks he's doing fine. looks like he's doing fine. looks like he's doing fine.

The Invisible Man

Slacker cowpunk anthem for anyone who's ever lived in Idaho... 

Ideeho

let's start a fire. let's take this town. let's rough the mayor up and knock some children down.
let's dance in the fountain. let's take off our clothes. let's scream at the top of our lungs so everybody knows.
and if somebody thinks they got something to say, we'll just tell them nothin' matters anyway.
cuz it turns out that we already paid to play. we'll just tell them it's alright and it's ok.
let's listen to Ozzy. Let's bark at the moon. Let's find some Chinese chicks and get ourselves a room.
we'll climb out on the rooftop, just to see the sights. let's get my .22 and shoot out all the lights.
and if somebody thinks they got something to say, we'll just tell them nothin' matters anyway.
cuz it turns out that we already paid to play. we'll just tell them it's alright and it's ok.
Ain't startin' no revolution, I just wanna have me some fun, alright? Just gimme a good old knock-down, drag-out Saturday night.
I gotta get me some new life, cause I'm an accident waitin' to begin. I spent too many years now with my shirt tucked in.
