The Bean - Clark Kent

I saw a film about love in the ruins
I read a book about despair
I saw your face there, I read the lines
A story about apples and oranges and a cold dark stare

A chill November wind disguised itself as May
A splash of orange shocked the blue
Can all these opposites be linked in some strange way
And can we make the false become the true

I'm going over the falls
In a barrel made of plywood and love
Barreling down to the rocks below
Sending a salvo to the stars up above

Well I make the coffee in the morning
I'm at the office all day
I stop another earthquake in the evening
We all do our part in our special little ways

I wish I could see into you
With my x-ray eyes
I guess I'll just keep on flying around and saving the world
Though I've got no idea why

But I will wear these shiny boots and flowing cape
I will be your superman
And I will save the world from fire and destruction
At least for as long as I can

I cannot believe these petty crimes
Could land me on death row
I guess it must be a sign of the times
Even a hero's got his scars to show

I'm going over the falls
In a barrel made of plywood and love
Barreling down in this flimsy construction
The seams come unglued, I see the stars above

But still I wear these shiny boots and flowing cape
Still I am your superman
And I will save the world from fire and destruction
At least for as long as I can
For as long as I can

I wish I could see into you
With my x-ray eyes
I just can't see the point in saving the world
When I've got no idea why

So I discard these shiny boots and flowing cape
I'll be my own superman
And I will leave a trail of fire and destruction
For as long as I can
I discard these shiny boots and flowing cape
Well I'll be my own superman
And I will leave a trail of fire and destruction
For as long as I can
