"The Man Who Rocked The World" lyrics

Little Sophia strange in '73
Her daddy's yelling tirades at the TV
"Hey man, be cool!"

Sweep in the screen rebel freak with a twist
A skinny teen had 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
Searching the discos for that special someone
It got so tough

Feeling the pressure under laser lights
But his feet go magic dancing 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 candy geeky straining through '95
Left on the outside flying far from the hive
He don't fit in

I got a lesson from a stranger deranged
Said, "It's okay, man, it's cool to be strange
Make a new spin"

He's been 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
