I wonder how bad that tastes  
When you see my face  
Hope it gives you hell  
Hope it gives you hell

The first time ever I saw your face  
I thought the sun rose in your eyes  
And the moon and the stars were the gifts you gave  
To the dark and the end of the skies

Time it was and what a time it was  
I have a photograph.  
Preserve your memory  
they’re all that’s left you.

Picture book  
Pictures of your mama  
Taken by your papa a long time ago  
Picture book  
Of people with each other  
To prove they love each other, a long ago

Will you remember the dress that I wore ?  
Will you remember my face ?  
Will you remember the lipstick I wore ?  
This world is a wonderful place.

</div>

I will be walking one day  
Down a street far away  
And see a face in a crowd  
And smile  
Knowing how you made me laugh  
Hearing sweet echoes of you from the past  
I will remember you

</div>

And if I walk these streets long enough  
Will you happen to me again?  
With whom are you sharing  
The sweet taste of summer?  
My memories pursue you  
Like puddles of rain  
The river inside me still flows  
To the sea of your hands

And if I close my eyes for a while  
Will you happen to me again?

If I go crazy then will you still  
Call me Superman  
If I’m alive and well, will you be  
There holding my hand  
I’ll keep you by my side with  
My superhuman might  
Kryptonite

Superman and Green Lantern ain’t got a-nothin’ on me,  
I can make like a turtle and dive for pearls in the sea,  
A-you can just sit there a-thinkin’ on your velvet throne, yes,  
About all the rainbows a-you can a-have for your own.

Cease to resist giving my goodbye,  
Drive my car into the ocean  
You’ll think I’m dead, but I sail away  
On a wave of mutilation

Feel a bit roughed up, feel a bit frightened  
Nearly pin it down some time  
Red sail action wake up in the wrong town  
Boy, I really get around

Round, ‘round, get around, I get around, yeah,  
Get around, ‘round, ‘round, I get around.  
From town to town,  
(Round, round, get around, I get around)  
I’m a real cool head,  
(Round, ‘round, get around, I get around)  
I’m makin’ real good bread.

Turn turn turn around  
Round round roundabout and over again  
Gun gun son of a gun  
You are the only one  
And no one else will take my place

Once upon a time you dressed so fine  
Threw the bums a dime in your prime  
Didn’t you?

The jukebox was busted  
At the bus depot  
When Haley’s Comet hit the ground

But still a light is shinning  
from the lamp on down the hall  
maybe the Star of Bethlehem  
wasn’t a star at all

No matter how hopeless,  
no matter how far
