He thinks that everyone is out to get him He'd change his mind if they would only let him From time to time he wonders why he bothers He crawls up like a bug beneath the covers He takes his time, he knows that haste might hurt you He'd have you know that patience is a virtue With half a smile he'd steal the mile beneath you But he would walk a thousand more to reach you He's the man with the sun in his eyes And the man with the sun in his eyes can't see He's the man with the sun in his eyes And when I see him there Sucking on his plastic air There must be a message there to us all And I can't help but feel A twisted kind of sympathy For all he's done for me and more He's got a book, he likes to keep it handy He's got the look of cardboard dressed as candy He couldn't find himself without direction But he could steal your heart without detection
