"Invisible" as written by Isaac Brock, Eric Judy, Tom Peloso, Jeremiah Green, Johnny Marr and Joe Plummer....
Oh, well lesson dance
And shoot to God
A storm-suffered owl
You're not invisible inside your car
No matter what stupid sort of mission you're on
Well, you're not invisible inside your car
I go absolutely mental
Good ramblin' George
Well, you're not invisible inside your car
No matter, you could breathe it like your flies in a jar
Yeah, you're not invisible
I like the sailing, teeming
Well, it's true that the moon could pull it back and far away from me
I should just let it be
Well, it's true that the moon could pull it back and far away from me
(And it's sad)
Oh, we had to have some kind
Room shaped like a charm
Well, you weren't invisible
Not all along
No matter how many eagles came in the door
We were not invisible
I knew that
I like the sailing, teeming
Well, it's true that the moon could pull it back and far away from me
And there's the orphan sea
We were never invisible, but that I guess we did not see
Of course this all had been laid down
Way before we lay down for it all
Before we had a course, of course
Of course this all had been laid down
Of course we lay down
Of course we lay down
Of course we lay down
Of course we lay down
Of course we lay down
Of course we lay down
I like the sailing, teeming
Well, it's true that the moon could pull it back and far away from me
I like the orphan sea
Well, we were never invisible, but that I guess we could not see
We'll get crushed by the ocean
But it will not get us wet
Crushed by the ocean
But it will not get us wet
Crushed by the ocean
But it will not get us wet
Crushed by the ocean
But it will not get us wet
And shoot to God
A storm-suffered owl
You're not invisible inside your car
No matter what stupid sort of mission you're on
Well, you're not invisible inside your car
I go absolutely mental
Good ramblin' George
Well, you're not invisible inside your car
No matter, you could breathe it like your flies in a jar
Yeah, you're not invisible
I like the sailing, teeming
Well, it's true that the moon could pull it back and far away from me
I should just let it be
Well, it's true that the moon could pull it back and far away from me
(And it's sad)
Oh, we had to have some kind
Room shaped like a charm
Well, you weren't invisible

Crushed by the ocean
But it will not get us wet
Crushed by the ocean
But it will not get us wet
Crushed by the ocean
But it will not get us wet

No you’re not invisible. I like the saline tea. Well it’s true
that the moon can pull it back and forth away from me. I
should just let it be. Well it’s true that the moon can pul l
you back and forth away from me. Well it had to happen

and are gone. We were not invisible. I like the saline tea.
Well it’s true that the moon can pull it back and forth
away from me. And there’s the orphaned sea, we were
never invisible, but that I guess we didn’t see. Of course

it all before we had a course, of course, of course this all
had been laid down before. Of course we lay down. I like
the saline tea. Well it’s true that the moon can pull it
back and forth away from me. And like the orphaned
sea, we were never invisible but that I guess we could

get us wet.
And for the "orphaned sea"...Man is apparently at the highest evolutionary point in earth's history. Though terrestrial, he's treated the sea worse than the land (trash, human waste, genocidal fishing[though the land's not exactly cared for]).
Given the 10% of the time (1 time out of 10, everything is perfect for us all {Bukowski}) positive attitude of the writer, a reference to the 10% of our population that will survive in the event of every major catastrophy that likely will happen in the next century (natural distasters, famine, energy crises, loss of MAJOR cities due to global warming (New York, Los Angles, all of Florida (surprisingly given it's own song on this album), not even to mention Southeast Asia.
They manage to non-pretentiously make songs about every major concern of humanity, should you subscribe to this interpretation.
Maybe this is the real root of the drug culture's attachment to the writer's lyrics - they are saying things that we don't can't quite contemplate the full meaning of (Stars Are Projectors). If you've ever gotten too loaded on mushrooms (everytime I've even looked at a mushroom) you probably fully understand this.
well listen dancing shifter, got a strong cell phone arm.

we'll get crushed by the ocean, but it will not get us wet.
heres why..
the first two verses are just saying, no matter what you do to put it off, you aren't going to escape the end. we're all just flies in a jar.
in the chorus, saline is used to inject patients who can't hydrate themselves by mouth, as you know. so basically he's saying again we're just waiting to die. and the moon goes up and down. daylight comes, and goes. and every day that happens, our lives get shorters, so the moon takes life away from us.
the third verse says that no matter how long we've been around, we're still going to perish as a race.
the last line confuses me.
"we'll get crushed by the ocean, but it will not get us wet"
i'd like to think it's about global warming, but it seems deeper than that,
Man, this song almost makes WWDBtSES seem like a concept album. Very nautical.
Man, I'm so addicted to this song. I've barely heard half the album and I keep coming back to it.
