Clark Kent Lyrics

I saw a film about love in the ruins

I read a book about despair

I saw your face there, I read the lines

A story about apples and oranges and a cold dark stare

A chill November wind disguised itself as May

A splash of orange shocked the blue

Can all these opposites be linked in some strange way

And can we make the false become the true

I'm going over the falls

In a barrel made of plywood and love

Barreling down to the rocks below

Sending a salvo to the stars up above

Well I make the coffee in the morning

I'm at the office all day

I stop another earthquake in the evening

We all do our part in our special little ways

I wish I could see into you

With my x-ray eyes

I guess I'll just keep on flying around and saving the world

Though I've got no idea why

But I will wear these shiny boots and flowing cape

I will be your superman

And I will save the world from fire and destruction

At least for as long as I can

I cannot believe these petty crimes

Could land me on death row

I guess it must be a sign of the times

Even a hero's got his scars to show

I'm going over the falls

In a barrel made of plywood and love

Barreling down in this flimsy construction

The seams come unglued, I see the stars above

But still I wear these shiny boots and flowing cape

Still I am your superman

And I will save the world from fire and destruction

At least for as long as I can

For as long as I can

I wish I could see into you

With my x-ray eyes

I just can't see the point in saving the world

When I've got no idea why

So I discard these shiny boots and flowing cape

I'll be my own superman

And I will leave a trail of fire and destruction

For as long as I can

I discard these shiny boots and flowing cape

Well I'll be my own superman

And I will leave a trail of fire and destruction

For as long as I can
