Invisible Ink [The Peel Sessions] Peter Hammill

[Verse 1]
Follow the instructions
The envelope is sealed:
Yeah, 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

[Verse 2]
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

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 3]
Follow the instructions
Tell us what you think;
They lose something in translation
Yeah, they might as well be printed in invisible ink
In invisible ink, in invisible ink
In invisible ink, in invisible ink
In invisible ink, in invisible ink
In invisible ink, in invisible ink (Oh, written in invisible ink)
