Lyrics
They say there’s someone up above, An invisible man who means but(t) love, Judges your life, and keeps a score… Don’t cross his line, you’ll burn for sure. He’s got a list, oh, don’t you know? The things he hates, the sins that blow… If you don’t obey, you’ll fry and scream, But he loves you, huh, so it seems. (Chorus) Invisible man in the sky, Wants your money, makes you cry. He loves you, oh, it’s true, But he needs all your treasures too. Confess your sins, just let them pour, Every dirty story, he needs more. He’s always watching, every day, And judgment’s coming, so they say. He’s got a plan, it’s built on fear, And he demands you stay sincere. But if you’re wise, he won’t agree, ’Cause money’s what he needs, you see. (Chorus) Invisible man in the sky, Wants your money, makes you cry. He loves you, oh, it’s true, But he’ll burn you if you’re through. It’s bananas, the world’s insane, They sell glory, deliver pain. They preach fake rules, dicks of prey, The invisible man’s here to stay. Invisible man in the sky, Wants your money, makes you cry. He loves you, oh, it’s true, But he’ll burn you if you’re through. Invisible man… invisible man… In the sky… in the sky… — @bananasutra lyrics + #aivoice on #sunomusic They say there’s someone up above, An invisible man who means but(t) love, Judges your life, and keeps a score… Don’t cross his line, you’ll burn for sure. He’s got a list, oh, don’t you know? The things he hates, the sins that blow… If you don’t obey, you’ll fry and scream, But he loves you, huh, so it seems. (Chorus) Invisible man in the sky, Wants your money, makes you cry. He loves you, oh, it’s true, But he needs all your treasures too. Confess your sins, just let them pour, Every dirty story, he needs more. He’s always watching, every day, And judgment’s coming, so they say.

(Chorus) Invisible man in the sky, Wants your money, makes you cry. He loves you, oh, it’s true, But he’ll burn you if you’re through. It’s bananas, the world’s insane, They sell glory, deliver pain. They preach fake rules, dicks of prey, The invisible man’s here to stay. Invisible man in the sky, Wants your money, makes you cry. He loves you, oh, it’s true, But he’ll burn you if you’re through. Invisible man, invisible man… In the sky… in the sky… — They say there’s someone up above, Invisible man, preachin’ love. He watches you both night and day, Keeps a list of rules you can’t disobey. (Chorus) Invisible man in the sky— Oh, he’ll burn you if you lie. Invisible man in the sky— Oh, he loves you but you’re gonna fry. He’s got a furnace, hot as sin, Says, “Step outta line, and you’re goin’ in.” But don’t you fret, don’t despair, He just needs your cash, and a daily prayer. (Chorus) Invisible man in the sky— You confess or he’ll make you cry. Invisible man in the sky— Oh, he’s watchin’ ‘til the day you die. He says, “Bow to me, you’ll be free, But first give me your money, and your dignity.” Oh, the wise can’t hold their gold, So hand it over like you’re told. Now some folks think the world’s gone mad, Invisible man demands all you have. A fiery pit waits for your soul, But he swears it’s love—that’s the goal. (Chorus) Invisible man in the sky— He’s got a plan, but don’t ask why. Invisible man in the sky— You’re guilty, so start to comply. So live in fear and pay the toll, He’s countin’ sins, he’s countin’ gold. Invisible man in the sky— Oh, he’ll love you ‘til the day you die. —— Verse 1 You say there’s someone up above, An invisible man who calls for love.

Invisible man, invisible man… In the sky… in the sky… — Title: Invisible Man in the Sky Style, Genre, and Type: Blues, soulful rhythm, lyrical satire Song description: A satirical take on the paradoxes of certain religious ideologies, exploring the idea of an all-knowing figure who controls yet claims love. Lyrics: [Intro] Oh, they say there’s a man, invisible and high, He’s watchin’ every move, got his eyes on the sky. With a list of demands, and a fiery fate, They call it love, but it’s a heavy weight. [Verse 1] They say he’s up there, lookin’ down on me, Judgin’ every moment, every thought I set free. If I step out of line, I’ll be burnin’ for days, But they call it salvation, wrapped in mysterious ways. [Chorus] Oh, invisible man in the sky, They claim you love, but I wonder why. You need my money, and sins confessed, To save my soul, but leave me stressed. [Verse 2] The wise can’t hold riches, so they beg for my gold, They tell me it’s his plan, the greatest story told. He loves me so much, but there’s fire below, For every misstep, for every “no.” [Chorus] Oh, invisible man in the sky, They claim you love, but I wonder why. You need my money, and sins confessed, To save my soul, but leave me stressed. [Bridge] Oh, the tale keeps spinnin’, it’s all so strange, This love feels like control, a celestial exchange. Bananas, they say, is the way of the world, But the weight of your love leaves my mind unfurled. [Instrumental Break] [Verse 3] I’m searchin’ for answers, I’m tryin’ to see, If the man in the sky really cares for me. Or is it just a story to keep me in line, While the preachers all prosper and I’m wastin’ my time? [Chorus] Oh, invisible man in the sky, They claim you love, but I wonder why. You need my money, and sins confessed, To save my soul, but leave me stressed. [Outro] Oh, invisible man, keep watchin’ me, I’ll keep my coins, I’ll keep my plea. Your fire can burn, your love can fly, But I’ll find my own truth beneath the sky. — Invisible Man in the Sky (Blues style, mirroring The Clash’s rhythm and lyrical patterns) Verse 1 They say there’s someone up above, Invisible man, preachin’ love.
