Invisible Tune

(album: I Was Born A Man - 1995)

Walk to your house
As the sun hit the moon
My hand touched the doorbell
And I heard this tune
Pop a balloon underwater
Can you hear the invisible tune?
Throw another into the sky
Watch it eclipse the moon

I hear your father screaming
'Til the house is leaning on the side
Through the keyhole your mother twists her heel
Like the spire in Chesterfield

He wouldn't let me see you
Like an angel swimming in Hell
Now I know the reason why
Wish I'd pushed the doorbell
Tie you father up, let your mother go
Take you in my arms
We could disappear for ever and ever
To a safe house without alarms

Pop a balloon underwater
And you'll hear an invisible tune
Throw another into the sky
Watch it eclipse the moon
