The once invisible man is now plain to see
He done fought, and bit, and scrounged, and kicked his way free
And like the gambler who finds he’s played the wrong hand
You’re scrambling scared to try to save what you can
*Chorus
And you got the nerve to ask if there was any love at all
Well, there was never much…no, babe, there was never much
There was never much to speak of, that I can recall
The vagabond’s dream that once looked sick and wrong
Now shines like the palace where you would like to belong
But I ain’t got the time for your chameleon mind
To change the colors you missed ‘cause you were blind
**Repeat Chorus
It should be easy to forget the world you despised
Just think about the plans and the man that you criticized
And now your too-late tears lie drying in your hand
You blew the last chance to try to understand
***Repeat Chorus
