(a pop song)
He’s from where no one else is from.
He’s felt the rays of a younger sun.
He’s been where no one else has been.
He knows what it was like back then.
He’s a guinea pig trapped in a time travel cage.
He’s living in somebody else’s age.
He’s way ahead of his time
But his time was such a long time ago.
He’s out of place and out of touch.
To him the world is much too much.
He’s with us now at our behest,
A welcome but unwilling guest.
He’s a silent actor in the audio age,
Bleeding all over an unnoticed stage.
He’s way ahead of his time
But his time was such a long time ago.
He’s seen the way the world has grown.
He’s seen our time. He prefers his own.
We brought him here and he can see
The future’s not what it should be.
He’s a Renaissance man in the robot age.
Our entire world is his lonely cage.
He’s way ahead of his time
But his time was such a long time ago.
