(Intro)
I must be invisible ;
No one knows me.
I have crawled down dead-end streets
On my hands and knees.
I was born with a ragin' thirst,
A hunger to be free,
But I've learned through the years.
Don't encourage me.
'Cause I'm a lonely stranger here,
Well beyond my day.
And I don't know what's goin' on,
So I'll be on my way.
When I walk, stay behind ;
Don't get close to me,
'Cause it's sure to end in tears,
So just let me be.
Some will say that I'm no good ;
Maybe I agree.
Take a look then walk away.
That's all right with me.
