Superman/Sidekick Lyrics by Michael Friedman

Fortress of Solitude (Original Cast Recording)

0

[JUNIOR]
I'm just walking down the street
And the street is lonely
There's no one to save me
And no one for me to save

And I feel like
I could be Superman
I could come and save you
If only I could fly

I'm just walking down the street
And I hear you call me
I hear you call me
From so far
So far away

And I feel like
I could be Superman
I could come and save you
If only I could fly, if only I could fly, if only I could fly

[DYLAN, spoken]
Hey. If you could fly, you could tag as high as you want

[MINGUS, spoken]
I saw a dude flying once

[DYLAN, spoken]
What, when?

[MINGUS, spoken]
When I first moved here. He went across the roofs!

[DYLAN, spoken]
Yeah, yeah! I saw that, too!

[MINGUS]
If I could fly
Like Superman through the sky
I'd live forever in my fortress of solitude
A fortress built for Mingus Rude
And you could be my sidekick

[DYLAN, spoken]
What power do I have?

[MINGUS, spoken]
Well, what power do you want?

[DYLAN]
If I was invisible
Or like the Shadow, barely visible
I'd see what evil lurks inside
When bad guys came I wouldn't hide

[MINGUS]
But you'd still be my sidekick

[DYLAN]
If I was cool like Batman

[MINGUS]
You mean really super cool

[DYLAN and MINGUS]
You don't need super-powers when you're cool

[DYLAN]
And I could rule the school
Like you do...
Like Batman and Robin

[MINGUS]
Like Aquaman and Aquagirl

[DYLAN, spoken}
Huh?

[MINGUS]
Or Green Arrow

[DYLAN and MINGUS]
And Speedy
And you could be my sidekick

My mother's on another planet
No kryptonite can stop me, can it
I'm safe when I'm alone

[THE SUBTLE DISTINCTIONS]
So Peter
He and Johnny had a power
Together they could change the world
Together they could make it right
 
Shape shifting
[DYLAN and MINGUS]
I won't be walking down the street
'Cause I'll be flying
We'll be flying together
With time travel--
[DYLAN, MINGUS, and THE SUBTLE DISTINCTIONS]
Superhuman speed
Mind control
X-ray vision
Immortality
The power is a secret
It comes from me
You'll save the world the minute you see

[JUNIOR]
I'm just walking down the street
And I feel like Superman
I'm ready to find you
And ready to learn to fly

[DYLAN, MINGUS, and THE SUBTLE DISTINCTIONS]
Grab something, grab something, hold on tight
What is life without putting up a little fight
You gotta grab something, grab something (Ah...)
You gotta grab something, grab something (Ah...)
Go on and grab something, grab something

[DYLAN, MINGUS, THE SUBTLE DISTINCTIONS and JUNIOR]
And never let go
