Cover art for Kookaburra lyrics by John Vanderslice

Every site has the line listed as "and the star was invisible".

Is this confirmed? Is it in the book? Because listening, and watching his lips in videos, it really sounds and looks like "the Bundestag was invisible". I don't know what German parliment has to do with anything but that's really what it sounds like.

I actually considered emailing John just to ask what he says there...

If it is a German parliament reference, I have to think it has something to do with historical suspicions that the Reichstag fire, which resulted in Hitler's appointment to chancellor (the first notable step in his rise to power), was started by Hitler himself, or at least his cronies. John seems to be of the opinion that the Twin Towers falling was no accident, either. Maybe he's throwing it out there to make a point. Although this is a completely different house established after Hitler's death, so I could just be blowing it out my ass.
