Resignation Superman

(album: Beautiful World - 1997)

He'll come flying out of this town
A resignation superman
And today the bad guys win
'Cause he turned his cape in
Now, he says

Yes, I'll turn my back on this world
Yes, I'll turn my eyes from this world
Oh well...

Yes, he's tired of fighting in this town
All the suffering and vice
He wants to fall in love and
Maybe settle in and live a life

Now I'll turn my back on this world
Yes, I'll turn my eyes from this world

Oh Lord, I need to believe in you now that I'm suffering
Oh Lord, I need to receive your hand in my heart

And he keeps an eye out on this town
The resignation superman
He'll keep himself amused
With the evening news
Oh...he said

Yet I'll turn my back on this world
Yes, I'll turn my eyes from this world
Now I broke my back on this world
Now I'll wash my hands of this world

Oh Lord, I need to believe in him now that I'm suffering
Oh Lord, I need to receive your hand in my heart
