So long Superman 
Got a suggestion for ya 
Check for kryptonite before ya 
Try to break a horse 
Hey, ho, here we go now 
Pulling onto the freeway 
Just like any other weekday 
Except there's no remorse 
Cause I'm gone 
And now nothing seems to matter 
Traded in my silver platter 
For an empty plastic tray 
There was nothing left worth waiting for 
The kids burned down the candy store 
And I'm waiting for a train 
 
So long, Superman 
I'll light a candle for ya 
Say a prayer when California 
Falls into the sea 
L.A. I never know ya 
Goodbye, good riddance to ya 
Go to hell and hallelujah 
You never meant much to me 
 
I don't care 
Where the track leads I will follow 
I left like Lou Ferrigno 
Tearing at the seams 
I couldn't take that town to more 
A whole world I ain't seen before 
So I gave up the gravy 
For sweet obscurity 
 
So long, Superman 
I'm taking a vacation 
I'll miss your medication 
It helped to ease the pain 
I'll see you back in Reno 
Outside the Grand Casino 
In your old El Camino 
Singing in the rain 
 
No plans 
I go where the machine goes 
The past is a placebo 
Dissolving in a drain 
I sleep beside the railroad tracks 
No more rent ot income tax 
I've got no fixed address now 
I'm waiting for the train
 
I don't care
Where the track leads I will follow
I felt like Lou Ferrigno
tearin' at the seams
I couldn't take that town no more
The kids burned down the candy store
So I gave up the gravy
for sweet obscurity
