Invisible Ink Lyrics - Lost In Space - Aimee Mann

There comes a time when you swim or sink 

So I jumped in the drink 

'cause I couldn't make myself clear 

Maybe I wrote in invisible ink 

Oh I've tried to think 

How I could have made it appear 

But another illlustration is wasted 

'cause the results are the same 

I feel like a ghost who's trying to move your hands 

over some ouija board in the hopes I can spell out my name 

What some take for magic at first glance 

Is just sleight of hand depending on what you believe 

Something gets lost when you translate 

It's hard to keep straight 

Perspective is everything 

And I know now which is which and what angle I oughta look at it from 

I suppose I should be happy to be misread- 

Better be that than some of the other things I have become 

But nobody wants to hear this tale 

The plot is clichd, the jokes are stale 

And baby we've all heard it all before 

Oh i could get specific but 

Nobody needs a catalog 

With details of love I can't sell anymore 

And aside from that, this chain of reaction, 

baby, is losing a link 

Though I'd hope you'd know what I tried to tell you 

And if you don't I could draw you a picture in invisible ink 

But nobody wants to hear this tale 

The plot is clichd, the jokes are stale 

And baby we've all heard it all before 

Oh i could get specific but 

Nobody needs a catalog 

With details of love I can't sell anymore
