Peter Hammill - Invisible Ink

Follow the instructions
The envelope is sealed
We're waiting on an update
Something like the reinvention of the wheel
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
The esoteric is lost on me

Follow the instructions
They speak in many tongues
In unlimited edition
And the last step on the ladder is the bottom rung
The diagram is so confusing
Anagrammatical the mystery
I wake myself up, shake myself up
Break myself apart and find in me
The esoteric machinery
The esoteric invisibly

Follow the instructions
Tell us what you think
They lose something in translation
They might as well be printed in invisible ink

Esoteric machinery
The esoteric invisibly
The esoteric is lost on me
The esoteric invisibility

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
The esoteric is lost on me
The esoteric, no time to think
The esoteric, written in invisible ink

In invisible ink
Indivisible link
In invisible ink
