A cat with a mouse

I'm the prodigal stranger

I'll burn down the house

I'm a self-educator

A collector of news

I'm the cool liberator

Any topic you choose



I'm a man with a mission

I'm a shooting star

I've got no inhibitions

I don't care who you are



Got my eye on the future

And my hand on the pulse

There's a whole world of people

In the back of the bus

There's a man on a tightrope

Who's got nothing to share

Just a whole lot of secrets

And a head full of air



I'm a man with a mission

I'm a shooting star

I've got no inhibitions

I don't care who you are



It's the tropic of cancer

The meaning of soul

There's a change in the weather

To have and to hold

The method of access

A handful of dust

It's just par for the course, boy

Get back on the bus



I'm a man with a mission

I'm a shooting star

I've got no inhibitions

I don't care who you are
