Song Lyrics

Once, I was invisible
For all the world to see
I traveled through the ether
On the blood of my enemies

And if they dared to whisper
When they thought they were alone
Then I was just as deadly
As a bug on the telephone

And though I was a child
And though I knew it well
You'd only know deliverance
To hope I would never tell

The night began to close around
The neighborhood again
But as I walked the streets
The devil tumbled down like rain

And though I was a child
And I knew right from wrong
Three can keep a secret
If two are dead and gone

Not alone, anyway
All alone, let us pray

The secret of my mystery
Will never see the dawn
And you will never, ever know
If you were once my pawn

And when I was a child
And when I went away
You were not the victim
For it was you who let me stay

Greg Dulli, Manuele Agnelli
