    A deceptive intro leads into a laid back groove. Three guitar tracks at the end make it interesting.

    Story Behind the Song
    The music was written well before the lyrics, and the lyrics came from a different song altogether. The end result, however, is a great showcase of the band's diverse talents.

    Lyrics
    I see him walkin' towards us now,
    Lookin' so cool, but just a fool.
    Hands in his pockets,
    Wonderin', why'd he ever go to school?
    His life's been a waste, could have been
    Up to something better than this.
    His talents, they come from the sun,
    But the eyes never reached that high.

    Close your eyes now,
    Imagine a place that you've never seen.
    Got to go there now,
    Don't be late, it's your only chance.

    Aspirations of grandeur
    Never crossed his mind, but that aside.
    A modest man, but he could use
    Just a little bit of selfish pride.
    Some say that's a bad thing,
    But they don't know what it's like.
    To have a manic obsession
    With a thing money couldn't buy.

    Could have been the greatest one,
    Only if he cared, never dared.
    Threw his money away on big cars,
    When really he just wanted to share.
    His wealth came as no surprise,
    Cause he sold out rather than try.
    They told him he'd make nothing of it,
    And he listened, so they wouldn't cry.
