lyrics

He walks home everyday
It's plus twenty, with a breeze
He wears a big red winter jacket
That he finds comfy
He talks about the TV
All the games that he's played
Sometimes, he goes on and on for days
He's got time cause he's so young
He's a king who walks the earth
He's got creativity galore
Since the day of his birth

Red jacket man, red jacket man
Won't you show us what's in your head?
Red jacket man, red jacket man
Oh he's a man, oh he's a man
Beneath the skin, oh he's a man

I don't know what's gonna happen
When this yellow bus pulls up
Maybe it will take him to a place
Where he might shut up
But he will walk home still
Through the plains of his mind
And a song in the distance
Will be of his time

Red jacket man, red jacket man
Won't you show us what's in your head?
Red jacket man, red jacket man
Oh he's a man, oh he's a man,
Beneath the red, oh he's a man
