We wrote our vows
on the bathroom wall
in the Denny's next to
City Hall
Now raise a drink
I think this could end well
You said "Let's go,"
and I said "Where?"
You said "I don't know
and I don't care, but
when we're there
I think that we can tell."
And we sing:
I think this just might be
an opportunity
the likes of which
we thought we'd never see
So raise a cup of tea
Baby, here's to you and me
And rock and roll
And making love for free
Sing it
We wrote our vows (I think)
on the bathroom wall (we could be so lovely)
in the Denny's next to (I think)
City Hall (everything could be so)
Now raise a drink (lovely, we're so)
I think this could end well (Lovely, lovely)
You said "Let's go," (I think)
and I said "Where?" (this could be what love is)
You said "I don't know (maybe)
and I don't care, but (this could be what love is)
when we're there (maybe)
I think that we can tell." (We're so lovely)
And we sing:
I think this just might be
an opportunity
the likes of which
we thought we'd never see
So raise a cup of tea
Baby, here's to you and me
And rock and roll
And making love for free
Hey there, I saw you cross the room
I thought I'd say hello
Hello
If you're here to steal my heart
I think you look the part.
Sorry, that's the best I've got
But we could live like thieves
or closely planted trees
won't you be a tree with me
Or maybe if you're free
we could grab a cup of tea
Or, whatever
As long as you never
Oh, please don't ever
Leave
I think this just might be
an opportunity
the likes of which
we thought we'd never see
So raise a cup of tea
Baby, here's to you and me
And rock and roll
And making love for free
I think this just might be
an opportunity
the likes of which
we thought we'd never see
So raise a cup of tea
Baby, here's to you and me
And rock and roll
And making love for free

Superman died tonight.
He choked himself on kryptonite.
The police were sent
they said "We've found Clark Kent
and we can only be sure this was no
accident."
And later that night
in the police chief's bed
they found a gun in his hand
a hole in his head
and a note on the wall that read
"Superman is dead."
When Moses parted the sea
and he set his people free
did the gods of Egypt say
"Well, I'll be.
I thought the one true god was me."
There's a voicemail for Lois Lane.
She's out on a date with Bruce Wayne.
Now the voice is soft
and the voice is grave
and it says "There's a man
Superman couldn't save
so I'll save myself instead.
Superman is dead."
The day that Jesus died
slapped on a cross and crucified
did God feel a sense of fatherly pride
or do you think he cried
Superman died tonight
but don't be scared
we'll be alright
'cause with superman gone
it won't be long
till there's somebody new to be
dependent on
and not a tear we'll shed
that Superman is dead.
Superman is dead.
Superman is dead.
Superman is dead.

Always thought I'd grow up to be a lonely, bitter man
My best friend would probably be myself
'Cause I wouldn't get loved by no one else
I won't get loved unless I loved myself
I met a girl
We took a ride (We took a ride)
Not sure what happened after that
But she was cool
And she was fine (And she was fine)
And I was laughing after that
'Cause I don't care anymore
Got something more than love itself
I'm not scared anymore
'Cause now I've got somebody else
You know
what I mean?
You know
what I mean?
I'll call you Lily, 'cause
I am so in love that
Lily is the only word I can say
I'll call you Lily, 'cause
I am so in love and
Lily just so happens to be your name
Lily just so happens to be your
We took a ride
into the night (Into the night)
Not knowing where it was to end
And it was clear
And it was bright (And it was bright)
Lily, won't you be my friend?
'Cause I don't care anymore
Got something more than love itself
I'm not scared anymore
'Cause now I've got somebody else
I don't wanna be
You know what I mean?
I don't wanna be
I don't wanna be
I don't wanna be
I don't wanna be lonely anymore
I'll call you Lily, 'cause
I am so in love that
Lily is the only word I can say
I'll call you Lily, 'cause
I am so in love and
Lily just so happens to be your name
Lily just so happens to be your
I'll call you Lily, 'cause (I don't care anymore)
I am so in love that
Lily is the only word I can say
I'll call you Lily, 'cause (I'm not scared anymore)
I am so in love and
Lily just so happens to be your name
Lily just so happens to be your
Always thought I'd grow up to be a lonely bitter man

Christopher
Sits beneath a tree
He's looking for an answer
He sees the tree
He sees the people running oh so quickly by
Christopher
Sees a blade of grass
He picks it up to see what it is for
But it just does and falls back to the ground right where it was before
Christopher
Looks around confused
Where's everybody going?
Christopher
Sees a girl
She doesn't walk, she runs, she's late, she's headed off
Why does she hurry so?
Why can't she stand around
and stay with Christopher and feel the breeze and watch the trees and look into the sky?
Christopher
Looks around confused
Where's everybody going?
We're all lost and in a hurry
Christopher, where are we going?
Why the rush?
Can't we stop and see the view, just like you?
Christopher
Christopher
Sees a bird who eats a worm
The worm did nothing to the bird
Christopher feels very sorry for the worm
Christopher
What's the question? What's the answer?
People run too fast to hear
Christopher
Looks around confused
Where's everybody going?
We're all lost and in a hurry
Christopher, where are we going?
Why the rush?
Can't we stop and see the view, just like you?
Christopher
Christopher
Why can't the world be made of people just like you
Who see the warm and fuzzy happy side of life?
Why isn't anybody looking anymore?
Christopher
We're all lost and in a hurry
Christopher, where are we going?
Why the rush?
Can't we stop and see the view, just like you?
Christopher
