Riding along in a seven forty seven thinking the heavens are looking just fine Whiskey and Coke and I'm lighting a smoke and I'm hoping the captain is making good time Breakfast in Rome dinner in London, watching a movie and thund'ring along Paris of Hong Kong it doesn't take long This way or that way, it's all much the same When you're living at this pace the world is a small place Getting around is just the name of the game So man in the moon I think it's time to a**ume that your heavenly reign is over Bird on the wing it's no longer a thing to fly in the sky like you do Fish in the sea you've got nothing on me I can go anywhere I want to I'm not the kind to stand in a line and just be the way I was meant to be No please understand I gotta be what I can I'm a man of the twentieth Century Riding along on a wave of invention greater intention and doing just fine Thumbing my nose at the forces of nature courses that take you to turbulent times Fighting the traffic radio blaring stopping and swearing and pa**ing the blame Ah right way or wrong way I've come a long way this day to that day it's never the same When you're living at this pace the world is a small place Going ahead is just the name of the game So man in the moon I think it's time to a**ume that your heavenly reign is over Bird on the wing it's no longer a thing to fly in the sky like you do Fish in the sea you've got nothing on me I can go anywhere I want to I get no time to stand in a line and just be the way I was meant to be No please understand I gotta go where I can I'm a man of the twentieth Century Man on the moon I think it's time to a**ume it's no longer the way it was meant to be Your heavenly reign doesn't mean the same to a man of the twentieth century Man on the moon I think it's time to a**ume it's no longer the way it used to be Bird on thw wing you know you don't mean a thing, to a man of the twentieth century Man on the moon I think it's time to a**ume it's no longer the way it was meant to be Fish in the sea, you've got nothing on me, I'm a man of the 20th Century
