| I don’t wanna be like old George Reeves
|
| Stuck in a Superman role
|
| I got a long way to go in my career
|
| And someday my (fate/fame) will make it clear
|
| That I had to be a Superman
|
| He came from another place deep in his mind
|
| And as far as the planets in space
|
| As galaxy’s mysteries start to unwind
|
| Some changes are bound to take place
|
| Though gravity constantly weighs on my travels
|
| My mission is close to adrift
|
| Though I can be strong when my powers unravel
|
| I still come to you for a lift
|
| I don’t wanna be like old George Reeves
|
| Stuck in a Superman role
|
| I got a long way to go in my career
|
| And someday my (fate/fame) will make it clear
|
| That I had to be a Superman
|
| I know I can fly when my plane hits the sky
|
| I believe I’ve got nothing to lose
|
| But when I’m alone with the bed and the phone
|
| I get the terminal metropolis blues
|
| I flew to the coast where Superman’s Ghost
|
| Lay shot on the bedroom floor
|
| He said, «Watch out for TV it crucified me,
|
| But it can’t crucify me no more»
|
| I don’t wanna be like old George Reeves
|
| Stuck in a Superman role
|
| I got a long way to go in my career
|
| And someday my (fate/fame) will make it clear
|
| That I had to be a Superman
|
| I’m red, white, and blue, I’ve got justice to do
|
| I’m the man of your fantasy dreams
|
| But I’m an alien man from an alien land
|
| Whose alive on your orthicon screens
|
| I once ruled the world and when flags were unfurled
|
| I performed for you live not on tape
|
| But the public is cruel when played for a fool
|
| As you see by the blood on my cape
|
| I don’t wanna be like old George Reeves
|
| Stuck in a Superman role
|
| I got a long way to go in my career
|
| And someday my (fate/fame) will make it clear
|
| That I had to be a Superman
|
| Well I never was real or stronger than steel
|
| I’m a figment of Freudian need
|
| And the video screen is a psychotic scene
|
| And it’s all done with mirrors and green
|
| My agent just called, the talks have been stalled
|
| I soon will be pulled from the air
|
| But the image persists in the video (mists/clips)
|
| That a Superman still will be there
|
| I don’t wanna be like old George Reeves
|
| Stuck in a Superman role
|
| I got a long way to go in my career
|
| And someday my (fate/fame) will make it clear
|
| That I had to be a Superman |
