He's a mood swinging man with his bag of tricks   Never know where he's at   The life of a party when he's doing his flips   A drag when he's flat on his back      This town feels empty now he's gone away   Please understand   Something new to discover everyday      The wheels in his hand he takes me up   He brings me back down again   Flash in the pan   Mood swinging man can't pretend      Tall dark stranger of the restless kind   Shadow of a shadow   I'd like to wander through his mind   He's hard to get to know      He wakes you up in the dead of night   To tell you he's in love   He can give a heavy sleeper a terrible fright      And no one can keep up   With the mood swinging man   He'll be back down again   He lights up      He's a flash in the pan   Mood swinging man   No idea who I am   I'm the mood swinging man      You know where he's at   He will crave your attention still   All too familiar   Mood swinging man
