MY INVISIBLE FRIEND

have you heard about my invisible friend?
he helps me out when i'm in a jam
he wipes my conscience clean, does my dirty work
my loyal friend always carries the can

he signs my cheques with his invisible ink
takes the dock to take the blame
i do not ask what he does with my capital
but the profit margins swell day by day

he got no body, he got no head
ain't got no mind to reason with
ain't got no heart, he ain't got no soul
ain't got no home, ain't got no clothes
but he'll protect me if things go awry
take the flak when the bullets fly
his hands tug the important strings
he'll wear the cuffs when they reel him in
my invisible friend

i'll vanish into thin air when the bubble bursts
like a shadow fading with the light
and when they sniff around for the evidence
i'll slip away into the night

he got no body, he got no head
ain't got no mind to reason with
ain't got no heart, he ain't got no soul
ain't got no home, ain't got no clothes
but he'll protect me if things go awry
take the flak when the bullets fly
his hands tug the important strings
he'll wear the cuffs when they reel him in
my invisible friend
