Invisible Ink - Peter Hammill

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
