Procol Harum Lyrics

Album: Prodigal Stranger

Man with a mission Lyrics

I'm a dog in a manger 

A cat with a mouse 

I'm the prodigal stranger 

I'll burn down the house 

I'm a self-educator 

A collector of news 

I'm the cool liberator 

Any topic you choose

I'm a man with a mission 

I'm a shooting star 

I've got no inhibitions 

I don't care who you are 

Got my eye on the future 

And my hand on the pulse 

There's a whole world of people 

In the back of the bus 

There's a man on a tightrope 

Who's got nothing to share 

Just a whole lot of secrets 

And a head full of air 

I'm a man with a mission 

I'm a shooting star 

I've got no inhibitions 

I don't care who you are 

It's the Tropic of Cancer 

The meaning of soul 

There's a change in the weather 

To have and to hold 

The method of access 

A handful of dust 

It's just par for the course, boy 

Get back on the bus 

I'm a man with a mission 

I'm a shooting star 

I've got no inhibitions 

I don't care who you are
