[00:01.25]I don't want to be like old George Reeves
[00:05.04]Stuck in a Superman role
[00:08.50]I got a long way to go in my career
[00:12.96]And someday my fame will make it clear
[00:16.77]That I had to be a Superman
[00:25.11]He came from another place deep in his mind
[00:28.98]As far as the planets in space
[00:33.25]As galaxy's mysteries start to unwind
[00:37.01]Some changes are bound to take place
[00:41.23]Though gravity constantly weighs on my travels
[00:45.11]My mission is close to adrift
[00:49.27]Though I can be strong when my power unravels
[00:53.09]I still come to you for a lift
[00:57.79]I don't want to be like old George Reeves
[01:01.69]Stuck in a Superman role
[01:05.02]I got a long way to go in my career
[01:09.53]And someday my fame will make it clear
[01:13.39]That I had to be a Superman
[01:21.75]I know I can fly when my plane hits the sky
[01:25.24]I believe I got nothing to lose
[01:29.60]But when I'm alone with the bed and the phone
[01:33.39]I get the terminal Metropolis blues
[01:37.72]I flew to the coast where Superman's ghost
[01:41.38]Lays shot on the bedroom floor
[01:45.25]He said watch out for TV, it crucified me
[01:49.22]But it can't crucify me no more
[01:54.01]I don't want to be like old George Reeves
[01:57.82]Stuck in a Superman role
[02:01.49]I got a long way to go in my career
[02:05.87]And someday my fame will make it clear
[02:09.65]That I had to be a Superman
[02:17.24]I'm red, white and blue, I've got justice to do
[02:21.41]I'm the man of your fantasy dreams
[02:25.35]But I'm an alien man from an alien land
[02:29.50]Who's alive on your Orthicon screens
[02:33.88]I once ruled the world and when flags were unfurled
[02:37.56]I performed for you live, not on tape
[02:41.58]But the public is cruel when played for a fool
[02:45.24]As you see by the blood on my cape
[02:49.98]I don't want to be like old George Reeves
[02:53.82]Stuck in a Superman role
[02:57.15]I got a long way to go in my career
[03:01.66]And someday my fame will make it clear
[03:05.41]That I had to be a Superman
[03:13.05]I never was real or stronger than steel
[03:29.25]I'm a figment of Freudian need
[03:33.63]And the video screen is a psychotic scene
[03:37.38]And it's all done with mirrors and greed
[03:41.64]My agent just called, the talks have been stalled
[03:45.49]I soon will be pulled from the air
[03:49.32]But the image persists in the video mists
[03:53.04]That a Superman still will be there
[03:57.78]I don't want to be like old George Reeves
[04:01.65]Stuck in a Superman role
[04:05.03]I got a long way to go in my career
[04:09.43]And someday my fame will make it clear
[04:13.18]That I had to be a Superman
[04:20.95]I got a long way to go in my career
[04:25.36]And someday my fame will make it clear
[04:29.07]That I had to be a Superman
[04:35.83]Oh yeah, I got a long way to go in my career
[04:41.41]And someday my fame will make it clear
