Superman

Song available on Lifes Rich Pageant.

(Godzilla doll opens in Japanese with "This is a special news report. Godzilla has been sighted in Tokyo Bay. The attack on it by the Self-Defense Force has been useless. He is heading towards the city. AAAAAGGGGHHHH!!!!!")

I am I am I am Superman and I know what's happening
I am I am I am Superman and I can do anything

You don't really love that guy you make it with now do you
I know you don't love that guy cause I can see right through you

If you go a million miles away I'll track you down girl
Trust me when I say I know the pathway to your heart

was life's rich pageant later released (on CD) without the Superman track? anybody know?


By Keith W I really like this song. Don't ask me why. I guess it makes me smile.


By crushwitheyeliner I really enjoy this song. It truly ROCKS even though there is not much in the sense of lyrics. Its the solid rock n roll rhythm that appeals to me and I find myself hitting the repeat button two or three times! Peace.


By Kevin Larios yes the CD version of Lifes Rich Pageant has Superman on it. the track list is very mixed up and superman is not listed on it, but it is there
