Lyrics

SUPERMAN LIVES
Ann E Brodsky
Copyright, 2004


It took knowing you to break the spell I was under for many a year
It took wanting you to comfort me so that I could let go of all the fear
It took giving you nothing but me before daybreak could draw near

More powerful than a speeding bullet (faster than a locomotive)
Leaps tall buildings with a single bound
His x-ray vision scans for broken hearts
Superman lives in my hometown

I fought against you so I could stay asleep but my kryptonite did not make you weak
It didn't take so very long to know that something more about you was unique
When you kept showing up in red I guess I knew why you choose to play hide and seek

Chorus +
Fly me to the moon and back again and round and round the sun
Hold my hand so gently as the darkness comes undone

When those villains show back up they'll be sorry that they ever messed with me
Cause you'll be in the phone booth down the road changing my destiny
You'll always be my hero but never my own man, you must be free like me

Fly me to the moon and back again and round and round the sun
Hold my hand so gently as the darkness comes undone
Superman lives in my hometown

Intriguing, inventive song that pulls you in from the first notes, worthy of repeated listening...could work across multiple genre's and era's... Reminiscent of Nick Drake and solo David Crosby...
