Hugging all the babies, kissing all the ladies

Knowing all that you think about from writing on the wall

Somebody up there (somebody) likes me

A
He's the savage son of the tv tube planets wrote the day was due,

All the wisest men around predicted that a man was found

Who looked a lot like you and me, yeah everyone with sense could see

Nothing left his eye unmoved, he had the plan, he had to use

Was a way when we were young, that any man was judged by what he'd done
