Story Behind The Song
Being married and remembering when my wife was my blue eyed bubble gum blowing girlfriend loving up at me with dreamy eyes, just 'knowing' I was 'perfect.' Well that's all changed and I should have known that. Infact, this song was written as if I did know!
Song Description
If John Lennon and Ozzy Ozborn had a baby and that baby wrote a song this is it. Hard enough to be hard rock and intellectual to be alternative rock mixed with modern production and instrumentation make this song curiously enchanting.

Lyrics
There's one thing you must understand
I am not a god I am just a man
I can't live on this pedistal
cause It's made too narrow and it's way too tall
And when I fall and break my neck
Then you will wonder how you fell for this
I'm perfect now but when you see
That I am mortal will you stay with me
I'm just your novelty
Just this weeks specialty
And I can't be
What you want
me to be
Please let me down from the sky
Inside your head I pick you up and fly
You introduce me to your friends
Like I'm a movie star
I can see that the writing is on the wall
You try to buy me clothes that are ten feet tall
And when they don't fit me when I try them on
You'll be suprised and then you'll be gone
I know you regard me as better than all the rest
Because you tell me lies to make me think that your the best
When you love me and not the man that you made in your mind
You could get to know me and we could have a life that will always shine
