Lyrics
superman is wearing a wig
with dark sunglasses and a chest that's mighty big
his chin has got stubble, his mouth forms a smile
he walks without much purpose but he brings unmatchable style
I want to be like him
with a cape, a cold beer, and a tall tale to spin
I want to bring comfort to a crowd
to help out in a bind
to win your heart and make you proud
--ch--
tell me - how could it be
the speed of light will never slow down
tell me - my destiny
am I supposed to be anything without you
------
superman stays late in the night
he'd go for days if he didn't have to check in with the wife
--ch--
tell me - how could it be
the speed of light will never slow down
tell me - my destiny
am I supposed to be anything without you
------
superman wakes up from a deep sleep
glances at his wig and turns on the tv
calls goat hill to begin the day
watches the horns with some old friends
superman wakes up from a deep sleep
