Must be more to this than I'm seeing now Or is it my eyes can't tell why or how Not exactly clear something isn't right Fell down on my head Changing day to night I need an invisible shield Mama never told me it would be this way Stone or paper, concrete or real To keep from going wild I need an invisible shield Mama never said there would be days like this I need an invisible shield To keep myself alive Don't hear what you say Don't care what you think There you go again Living on the brink Musn't get upset That's the way things are haven't seen 'em yet Wonder who they are I need an invisible shield Mama never told me it would last this long I need an invisible shield to keep me going on I need an invisible shield to hide something don't know what it is I need an invisible shield To save my soul I really do need it Can't make it on my own I need a shelter Or a ride home What's that you say I think I hear you talking Mmmm mmmm Birth, death, infinity Twinkle of an eye I know you understand it Don't ask me why I need an invisible shield Mama never talked about a woman like you I need an invisible shield to see me through I need an invisible shield to stop me sinking all the way down I need an invisible shield to turn things around I really do need it Can't make it on my own I need a shelter Or a ride home
