Perhaps a short story on the second side of Panorama?
Anyone notice that this song precedes "Misfit Kid?" "Down Boys" seems to parallel this song, as the person in this song is pretty much labeled a pretender by the "Down Boys":
You were trying to be sharp
But they couldn't wait
You were trying to be eternal
But that didn't rate
You were trying to be smooth
You're rough on the edges
You were trying to be hysterical
They didn't laugh
The next song, "Misfit Kid" is when this person internally realizes and labels how he feels about himself.
In the setting of the remaining songs on this "side" of the album, it sounds like the fictional "person" has finally quit pretending and is confident of himself, yet he is still contacting the girl who "wears those eyes," a shallow-minded woman. In this case, the person lets her know that SHE'LL have to find him (instead of the reverse), although it should be no problem to find him.
