After listening to various studio and live versions, I'm still not sure which of the four lyric phrases is correct. Although Travis usually puts their lyrics in their CD booklets, this song was released as a single not on their major albums. It does appear, however, on their Singles CD, but I have not yet looked in that booklet to see if the correct lyrics are there.

Why does it always rain on me?
Even when the sun is shinning I can't avoid the lightning
I can't stand myself
I'm being held up by invisible men
Still life on a shelf when I've got my mind on something else
