Peter Hammill
Invisible Ink
[Instrumental Intro]

[Verse 1]
Follow the instructions
The envelope is sealed:
Yeah, we're waiting on an update
Something like the reinvention of the wheel

[Pre-Chorus]
Who made the world so complicated?
Who made the watchword wait and see?
I wake myself up, shake myself up
Take myself apart but still can't see...

[Chorus]
The esoteric is lost on me

[Verse 2]
Follow the instructions:
They speak in many tongues
In unlimited edition
And the last step on the ladder is the bottom rung

[Pre-Chorus]
The diagram is so confusing
Anagrammatical the mystery;
I wake myself up, shake myself up
Break myself apart and find in me
[Chorus]
The esoteric machinery
The esoteric invisibly

[Keyboard Solo]

[Verse 3]
Follow the instructions
Tell us what you think;
They lose something in translation
Yeah, they might as well be printed in invisible ink

[Chorus]
In invisible ink, in invisible ink
In invisible ink, in invisible ink (Ohhh, in invisible ink)
(Oh, oh, oh, ohhh, written in invisible ink)

Esoteric machinery (Oh, oh, oh, ohhh, written in invisible ink)
The esoteric invisibly; (Oh, oh, oh, ohhh, written in invisible ink)
The esoteric is lost on me (Oh, oh, oh, ohhh, written in invisible ink)
The esoteric invisibility (Oh, oh, oh, ohhh, written in invisible ink)

[Pre-Chorus]
Who made the world so complicated?
Who put the alpha in the ABC?
I wake myself up, shake myself up
Break myself apart but finally
[Chorus]
The esoteric is lost on me (Ohhh, written in invisible ink)
The esoteric, no time to think (Oh, oh, oh, ohhh, written in invisible ink)
The esoteric, in invisible ink (Oh, oh, oh, ohhh, written in invisible ink)
In invisible ink, in invisible ink
Indivisible link, indivisible link
Indivisible link, indivisible link
Indivisible link, indivisible link

[Outro]
Indivisible, indivisible
Indivisible, indivisible
Indivisible, indivisible
Indivisible, indivisible
