strength was your first desire having always been quite small... next you needed wealth and riches for ultimate control... anyone would have made those wishes if the djinn had come to them and yes you've been a tyrant but somehow you stayed a friend... somehow you stayed a friend but there were things you couldn't do still, tastes you couldn't touch 'cuz then someone might see you and they would see too much... they would see too much... your first and second wishes did some damage, made me wish that bottle never had been found but you're the one whose wishes were granted and I can't wish that bottle back into the ground... it got dark out then but I didn't lose you, not until you turned invisible... dark in here, no, not until you turned invisible, until you turned invisible, not until you turned invisible, man... and although you could not be caught, it was also just as much that you never had to look yourself in the eye, you only had to watch, and although you could reappear at will, you've forgotten how with time, and all those who once looked up to you now lock their doors at night, yeah, it got dark out then but I didn't lose you, not until you turned invisible... dark in here, no, not until you turned invisible, until you turned invisible, not until you turned invisible, until you turned invisible, not until you turned invisible, until you turned invisible, not until you turned invisible, man
