Daily Planet Lyrics

Assassin at an earlier time:

(Laughter) Ah, Shit!



Strange
Signal:

Yet...Four...Two...Going...

1, 3, 6, twenty five times, the
Jericho mile, it's 15, 17...18 if 

one could possibly
remember...what!?



Local Observer:

Today Superman jumped off
a building

And he couldn't fly

And he couldn't fly

Straight
to the ground he fell

You should have seen him die...oh



Drunk at the end of the bar:

He ate a pound of Kryptonite

He ate
a pound of brotherly love, baby



Strange Signal:

One...$.02
now...I wish it could be, if it was only there...I know



Local
Observer:

He didn't know it was Kryptonite

Superman took a dive

And he hadn't

He didn't know how to fight

For truth, for justice,
for safety of man



Old Dude with paper in hand:

For law and
order, read all about it, Make another plan



Strange Signal:

4, 6, 12 (undecipherable) no more boys



Local Observer:

Try
Green Lantern or the Caped Crusader



His Friend:

But they're
always out of town



Local Observer:

Sipping candy liquor on a
Sunday beach



His Friend:

Yeah, they're always out of
reach



Local Observer:

But Superman's gone, the morning
papers read



Drunken Englishman:

No, he couldn't be!

I
knew he's dead!

He couldn't be dead



Local Observer:

He's invincible and we need him in this town



Roving Reported in
Istanbul (televised):

Uh, what will life be without Superman around?



News only Channel 17:

This is the latest on channel 17
news...Jimmy Olson wrote the story 

and Lois Lane provided the tears



Paper Boy:

Read all about it!

Read all about it!



Dick West:

The start of "The Turbulent Years"



(12
YEARS LATER - SOMEWHERE IN NORTHERN ALASKA)

Strange Signal:

Uh,
which one is the ground system

And blowing smoke out the eyes of
another

And drilling two holes in the bottom of the Earth

Where
life could be once again

Like it once was

In the ice age

In a
kingdom long ago

Without chance

Without hope

Without
vision

And therefore:

Always creating the same effect

Without
ever knowing...

...Why
