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

And he hadn't

He didn't know how to fight

For truth, for justice, for safety of man

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 hope

Without vision

And therefore:

Always creating the same effect

Without ever knowing...

...Why
