Lyrics

I've never seen the sky so angry, starchild
You've got to do something about these mind crimes
The shuffling feet and sad expressions
They don't go, they don't go
I thought you came down from heaven to save souls
These angry men are into making bad seeds
The only thing we had they're taking
Now love needs, needs a little, needs a little
Five thousand million people
To spread joy, spread a little joy
I thought you came down from heaven to save us
I thought you came but you just don't take us
Somewhere in the world tonight
There's a fire blazing bright
Keeping warm the superman
Sent to us to save the land
Somewhere in the world today
A hungry one will kneel to pray
Wishing all the while to see
The starchild
I've seen the preachers on the TV in white suits
With precious stones they're studded into their boots
Can you take the money, can you take their money?
I don't know who to believe, is it them or you?
I thought you came down from heaven to save us
I thought you came but you just don't take us
Somewhere in the world tonight
There's a fire blazing bright
Keeping warm the superman
Sent to us to save the land, oh
Somewhere in the world today
A hungry one will kneel to pray
Wishing all the while to see
The starchild
The starchild
Got to see him now
When you gonna come (when you gonna come)
You've got to save us from what we've begun
From what we've begun
So long coming down
Starchild
Somewhere in the world tonight
There's a fire blazing bright
Keeping warm the superman
You know, sent to us to save the land
Somewhere in the world today
A hungry one will kneel to pray
Wishing all the while to see
The starchild
Somewhere in the world tonight
In the world tonight
Somewhere in the world tonight
In the world tonight
You know that somewhere in the world tonight
There's a superman
There's a superman and he's coming down to see you, baby
There's a superman coming
There's a superman coming
There's a superman coming
There's a superman coming
There's a superman coming
There's a superman coming
There's a superman coming
There's a superman coming
There's a superman coming
There's a superman coming
There's a superman coming
