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.

I 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 mewell it 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 silly red sheet
digging for kryptonite on this one-way street
Only a man in a phony red sheet
looking for special things inside me
Inside me...
Inside me...
Yeahinside of me..
Inside of me....
I m only a man in a phony red sheet
I m only a man looking for a dream
I m only a man in a phony red sheet
and it s not easy...
It s not easy to be
me...
