Hit the Ground (Superman) - The Big Pink

Flying high at speed of sound

On the night bus, heading out

I’ll call you now

We’ll meet on the streets, and we’ll run around

Leave everyone behind

The name-droppers and the unkinds

And we’ll meet our friends

Blue plastic bags, full of cans

Like hooded ghosts, we don’t make a sound

Feel the earth pull us, hand in hand

But if I fall off this cloud

If I fall off, oh, Superman

Oh, Superman, I don’t wanna hit the ground

I don’t wanna hit the ground

I don’t wanna hit the ground

Oh, Superman

Oh, Superman, oh no

I don’t wanna hit the ground

I don’t wanna hit the ground

Oh, Superman

Oh, Superman, oh no

Feel my guilt when the light pulls in fast

Hopes for the days are gone, and the hour’s passed

Not a fighting chance

Comic ideas of the future

How to jump home now, with a single bounce

And we’ll laugh out loud

Like hooded ghosts, we don’t make a sound

Feel the earth pull us, hand in hand

But if I fall off this cloud

If I fall off, oh, Superman

Oh, Superman, I don’t wanna hit the ground

I don’t wanna hit the ground

I don’t wanna hit the ground

Oh, Superman

Oh, Superman, oh no

I don’t wanna hit the ground

I don’t wanna hit the ground

Oh, Superman

Oh, Superman, oh no

I don’t ever wanna stop

You could not have made it up

Who will catch me when I drop?

And stop me falling

Is this ever gonna stop?

Can you catch me when I drop?

I know there’ll never be no Superman

Like hooded ghosts, we don’t make a sound

Feel the earth pull us, hand in hand

But if I fall off this cloud

If I fall off, oh, Superman

Oh, Superman, I don’t wanna hit the ground

I don’t wanna hit the ground

I don’t wanna hit the ground

Oh, Superman

Oh, Superman, oh no

I don’t wanna hit the ground

I don’t wanna hit the ground

Oh, Superman

Oh, Superman, oh no
