He came bursting out of nowhere like a spear into the sky
And he cast his light on everything
it was like he never die
And he landed right on target, but the target rolled away
And it left him pointing
nowhere you could hear the children say

He's the fella, the man who invented himself

When you need her love so badly but she's trying to relax
You can't work it with your fingers
so you try it with an axe
And he taps you on the shoulder; looking out for number one
Is like drilling for a rainbow or an iceberg in the sun

He's the fella, the man who invented himself

Nobody knows where he's from
Nobody knows where he's gone and gone and gone
But he's not here

When you're waiting for your baby to get back from the moon
And throw her arms around you, in a very quiet lagoon
Well that loneliness is nothing, just imagine how he feels
He's the only person in the world
who still believes he's real

He's the fella, the man who invented himself
