Lyrics
Superman (c) IMRO 2008
Lance always hated three legged racing.
Always someone he said, holding him back.
Fun was for kids who collected comics.
He broke from the pack.
His heroes fled up mountains.
Chasing yellow jerseys on a foreign shore
He said "life asks for more"
Ah but me I'm not so sure.
You do want to grow up thinking that you've got to be Superman
I don't think anybody can, except maybe, Superman.
You just want to see what it's like being happy in your own skin.
*'No it ain't such a big sin.
If you're not happy being the guy who's only happy when he wins.
Medals fall on heroes heroes fall on choices.
They hear ambitious inner voices,
Who saw the man who could fly.
I see the flapping cape,
I watch the clouds rush beneath him.
But I look for the wires that hold up the lie.
And I ask why. I just ask why... oh
Little feet, big shoes to fill. Maybe there in lies the thrill
