Story Behind The Song

it takes more than the cape and the tights to be a super hero, one must have the courage to look inside one's own heart and do the right thing

Song Description

super action hero Zoom Zoroc returnrs from the 23rd century to help save the planet, but no one listens. he ends up losing his way, gets by with odd jobs eventually posing posing for marvel comics to pay the rent, but in the end remembers why he came here

Lyrics

Zoom Zoroc from the 5th dimension is totally sentient,
flyin like a bird, have you heard
Zoom Zoroc from the 23rd century, super poet, healer and sentry
don't like the way we pollute the earth

full moon rising in scorpio
creative full monty kickin ready to go,
third eye ragin like a UFO
he's a moon child, totally wild
straight from the depths of the Nile

Space hippies chasing the Sun
desert rock poetry painted in puns
(but) even super sonic hero appeal
has an achilles heel
Comix A&R killing creativity
sounds just like the music industry
they ain't right with their creative kryptonite

posing for Marvel to pay the rent
super action sell out now in full effect
Comic book hero now a comic book farce,
common experience of creative art
from Atlantis to Nardis

You can be a Super hero, you can be a super Zero chillin like Nero,
it's in the way that you live your life
look for the super hero living within
start with your heart, it's the place to begin,
it's not in the cape or in the tights

strong as a grove of fruit trees
with out stretched green hand leaves
like the fingers of a glove in the outfield
chasing Sun Ra's baseballs of love
falling from above, falling from above, falling from above
just like peace is the sign of the dove
