For Superman

Two, three, four

Superman is everywhere as far as the eye can see

Fighting for attention, just like you and me

But it used to be that just when you'd need it

He'd come and save the day

But now he never goes away

So the thrill is starting to fade

For Superman

I remember when it all began

And no one seemed to know

What this great transition meant for our hero

It was cute at first but then it got worse

And now it hurts me so to say

He's just doing whatever it takes

To keep the spotlight on his face

In a gradual fall from grace

For Superman

Holy ghost, hold the phone

Say it isn't, isn't so

I don't wanna let you go

You changed everything

And now everything is changing once again

And it feels like it's the end

For Superman

Superman was larger than life itself to me

A sonic boom

Bursting through the TV screen

He would leap tall buildings in a single bound

Now he films himself just walkin' around

In that old locomotive routine

Has a billion times been seen

I'm afraid that I know what that means

For Superman

Holy ghost, hold the phone

Say it isn't, isn't so

I don't wanna let you go

You changed everything

And now everything is changing once again

And it feels like it's the end

He carvin' out his niche

Workin' on this elevator pitch

Mhhh, mhhh

Makin' it easier to digest

Yeah, yeah

In 60 seconds or less

Yeah

I will always think of him how we was to me

I close my eyes, he still flies at superhuman speed

Racin' bullets 'cross the open sky, he'd beat 'em past the finish line

But the race has already been won

Takin' everything under the sun

And the sun is beginning to set

And the world will eventually forget

And I'm tryin' my best to be brave

Standing up to a tidal wave

But the wave is beginning to crash

And the tear drops are filling my glass

So I'm pouring some out in his name

For Superman
