i can't stand to fly
i'm not that naive
i'm just out to find
the better part of me
i'm more than a bird
i'm more than a plane
i'm more than some pretty face beside a train
and it's not easy to be me
wish that i could cry
fall upon my knees
find a way to lie
about a home i'll never see
it may sound absurd
but don't be naive,
even heroes have the right to bleed
i may be disturbed
but won't you concede
even heroes have the right to dream
and it's not easy to be me
up, up and away
away from me
well that's all right
you can all sleep sound tonight
i'm not crazy
or anything
i can't stand to fly
i'm not that naive
men weren't meant to ride
with clouds between their knees
i'm only a man in a funny red sheet
digging for kryptonite on this one way street
only a man in a funny red sheet
looking for special things inside of me
it's not easy to be me. |
