( repeat same progression on previous verse and refrain )
i found a book on how to be invisible
on the edge of the labyrinth
under a veil you must never lift
pages that you must never turn
in the labyrinth
you stand in front of a million doors
and each one holds a million more
corridors that lead to the world
of the invisible
corridors that twist and turn
corridors that blister and burn

eye of braille
hem of anorak
stem of wallflower
hair of doormat
is that the wind from the desert song?
is that the autumn leaf falling?
or is that you walking home?

is that the wind from the desert song?
is that the autumn leaf falling?
or is that you walking home?
is that a storm in the swimming pool?

you take a pinch of keyhole
and fold yourself up
you cut along a dotted line
you think inside out
you jump ’round three times
you jump into the mirror
and you’re invisible
