WAITING FOR A SUPERMAN (THE FLAMING LIPS)
As sung by Iron & Wine

I asked you a question, but i didn't need you to reply.
“Is it gettin' heavy,” but then i realized
“is it gettin' heavy.”
Well, I thought it was already as heavy as can be.

“Is it overwhelming, to use a crane to crush a fly.”
It's a good time for Superman to lift the sun into the sky
'cause it's gettin' heavy.
Well, i thought it was already as heavy as can be.

Tell everybody waitin' for Superman
that they should try to hold on the best they can,
he hasn't dropped them, forgot them, or anything.
It's just too heavy for Superman to lift.
