He came bursting out of nowhere like a sphere into the sun
   And he cast his light on everything, it was like he never died
   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 fellow, 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 fellow, 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 fairly 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 fellow, the man who invented himself
