The Man Who Rocked the World
Little Sophia Strange in '73
Her daddy's yelling tirades at the TV
Hey man be cool!!
Sweeping the screen - rebel freak with a twist
A skinny genie come to grant her a wish
Changes the rules
He's a real pretty thing!
But now she looks to the stars
Oh with an ache in her heart
For now the man who rocked the world
Is going home
She's reaching up for a song
Oh but the music is gone
For the man who rocked the world
Is going home
Big Johnny Butterfingers in '81
Searchin the discos for that special someone
It gets so tough
Feelin the pressure under laser lights
But his feet go magic dancin' when the song is just right
Yeah that's the stuff
Let's dance, Johnny
But now he looks to the stars
Oh with an ache in his heart
For now the man who rocked the world
Is going home
He's reaching up for a song
Oh but the music is gone
Because the man who rocked the world
Is going home
Spaceman blasting away into the big black sky tonight
Smiling, riding a trail of stardust home
Little Gangly Geeky strainin' through '95
Left on the outside flyin far from the hive
He don't fit in
Heart got a lesson from a stranger deranged
Said it's ok man, it's cool to be strange
Make a new spin
Seems so far away
And now I look to the stars
Oh with an ache in my heart
For now the man who rocked the world
Is going home
I wanna hear one more song
Oh let the music live on
For the man who rocked the world
Is going home
Her daddy's yelling tirades at the TV
Hey man be cool!!
Sweeping the screen - rebel freak with a twist
A skinny genie come to grant her a wish
Changes the rules
He's a real pretty thing!
But now she looks to the stars
Oh with an ache in her heart
For now the man who rocked the world
Is going home
She's reaching up for a song
Oh but the music is gone
For the man who rocked the world
Is going home
Big Johnny Butterfingers in '81
Searchin the discos for that special someone
It gets so tough
Feelin the pressure under laser lights
But his feet go magic dancin' when the song is just right
Yeah that's the stuff
Let's dance, Johnny
But now he looks to the stars
Oh with an ache in his heart
For now the man who rocked the world
Is going home
He's reaching up for a song
Oh but the music is gone
Because the man who rocked the world
Is going home
Spaceman blasting away into the big black sky tonight
Smiling, riding a trail of stardust home
Little Gangly Geeky strainin' through '95
Left on the outside flyin far from the hive
He don't fit in
Heart got a lesson from a stranger deranged
Said it's ok man, it's cool to be strange
Make a new spin
Seems so far away
And now I look to the stars
Oh with an ache in my heart
For now the man who rocked the world
Is going home
I wanna hear one more song
Oh let the music live on
For the man who rocked the world
Is going home
