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 me, well 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...
Yeah, inside 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...
