Local Observer:
|
Today Superman jumped off a building
|
And he couldn't fly
|
And he couldn't fly
|
Straight to the ground he fell
|
You should have seen him die...oh
|
|
Drunk at the end of the bar:
|
He ate a pound of Kryptonite
|
He ate a pound of brotherly love, baby
|
|
Strange Signal:

One...$.02 now...I wish it could be, if it was only there...I know
|
|
Local Observer:
|
He didn't know it was Kryptonite
|
Superman took a dive
|
And he hadn't
|
He didn't know how to fight
|
For truth, for justice, for safety of man
|

He couldn't be dead

(12 YEARS LATER - SOMEWHERE IN NORTHERN ALASKA)
|
Strange Signal:
|
Uh, which one is the ground system
|
And blowing smoke out the eyes of another
|
And drilling two holes in the bottom of the Earth
|
Where life could be once again
|
Like it once was
|
In the ice age
|
In a kingdom long ago
|
Without chance
|
Without hope
|
Without vision
|
And therefore:
|
Always creating the same effect
|
Without ever knowing...
|
...Why
