Lyrics[]
- He's...
- going his own way...
- Just...
- like a black-eyed stingray...
- He's born and raised with a body which screams "come on!"
- Like a bitter homely kind of people that's just too much for the heart of the future...
- He's out to get you, gonna make you shout...
- He wanna touch, he wanna scan you out...
- You can run all you want but know, you're gonna pay...
- He's put together the wrong way...
- The wrong way...
- He's put together the wrong way...
- The wrong way...

Did you have the lyrics to that anywhere, it's kinda hard to understand? / Howard Drossin: I don't have the lyrics anymore, but I know the first line is -- He's going his own way. My lyrics were a bit subversive for the project and intentionally hard to understand when I sang it."
