A Man On the Make

Just the way he moves, the way he talks
  The things he says, the way he talks

The way he does the special things he can do
  He's a man on the make, a man to look up to

The threads he wears, the places he eats
  He's a man to get to know, a man to meet

The sports coupe he drives makes the road come alive
  He smiles, the world glows; waters swirl and flow

He's the picture of health, a man of immense wealth
  Dynamic, not static; yet all the same, enigmatic

Friends he counts none; passing acquaintances, one
  He's a man on the make, with no place in the sun
