He ^Fcame from another place ^Cdeep in his mind As ^Amfar as the planets in ^Gspace As ^Fgalaxy's mysteries ^Cstart to unwind Some ^Dchanges are bound to take ^Gplace Though ^Amgravity constantly ^Emweighs on my travels My ^Ammission is close to ^Emadrift Though ^AmI can be strong when my ^Empower unravels I ^Dstill come to you for a ^Glift

I ^Fknow I can fly when my ^Cplane hits the sky I be^Amlieve I've got nothing to ^Glose But ^Fwhen I'm alone with the ^Cbed and the phone I get the ^Dterminal metropolis ^Gblues I ^Amflew to the coast where ^EmSuperman's Ghost Lay ^Amshot on the bedroom ^Emfloor He said "^AmWatch out for TV it ^Emcrucified me But it ^Dcan't crucify me no ^Gmore."
