Man of Steel


Words and Music by Doug Osborne


Well I’m a mild mannered boy with x-ray specs

I wanted to see right through your clothes

my identity no one suspects

my origin no one knows


well I’m the hero here

‘cause I know it’s all illusion

I can stop a speeding bullet

I’ve come to that conclusion

I also know for real


even a Man of Steel couldn’t bring you back…


I’m being measured so my flying suit will fit

are these powers I’ve received just a crutch?

your love I’ll never get

my heart won’t know your touch


well I’m the hero here…

It takes a lot of heat to melt a heart of gold

but all I get from you is cold


well I’m the hero here…

even a man of steel couldn’t bring you back...
