        I'm the invisible man,
        I'm the invisible man,
        Incredible how you can
        See right through me.

        I'm the invisible man,
        I'm the invisible man,
        It's criminal how I can
        See right through you.

The virus also contains the following text:

        The Invisible Man - Written in SALERNO (ITALY), October
        1992.Dedicated to Ester: I don't know either how or when,
        but I will hold you in my arms again.
