(Is it a bird or just a plane?

Is it a bird or a plane?

Is it a bird or just a plane?

Is it a bird or a plane?)

What happened to the boy I knew?

He promised me his love was true

Supposed to be a man

But his little plan had fell through

The one who used to tell me jokes

Was popular with all my folks

Had everybody fooled ‘cause he was so cool

Now it's up in smoke

What happened to my childhood dream

Your language I no longer speak

How come you never talk to me?

My telephone never rings

I wish I'd known that you would mean

To let me go

I was oblivious

You were up on a pedestal

And I could not ring you in

But you fell short

'Cause you needed lungs to breath

And you can't fly

Look with eyes like laser beams

And I was blind for wanting you to rescue me

But you were caught in the clouds

And I was left on the ground

(Is it a bird or just a plane?

Is it a bird or a plane?

Is it a bird or just a plane?

Is it a bird or a plane?)

What happened to the boy I knew

The one I thought had hung the moon

Supposed he was a man

But one stroke of his hand

And I'm painted blue

What happened to my childhood dream

Your language I no longer speak

How come you never talk to me?

And my telephone never rings

I wish I'd known that you would mean

To let me go

I was oblivious

You were up on a pedestal

And I could not ring you in

But you fell short

'Cause you needed lungs to breath

And you can't fly

Look with eyes like laser beams

And I was blind for wanting you to rescue me

But you were caught in the clouds

Oh

You fell short

'Cause you needed lungs to breath

And you can't fly

Look with eyes like laser beams

And I was blind for wanting you to rescue me

But you were caught in the clouds

You can't read the thoughts

That form inside my head

And you aren't strong enough

To save my soul from dead

Then you can't keep my heart

From being ripped to shreds

I was wrong to alter reality

I made you some

Superman you couldn't be

All this time, oh, I truly did believe

That you got caught in the clouds

I wish you'd known that I would mean

To fall in love

Were you oblivious?

You were high in the atmosphere

I disappear below

But you fell short

'Cause you needed lungs to breath

And you can't fly

Look with eyes like laser beams

And I was blind for wanting you to rescue me

But you were caught in the clouds

Oh

You fell short

'Cause you needed lungs to breath

And you can't fly

Look with eyes like laser beams

And I was blind for wanting you to rescue me

But you were caught in the clouds

Oh

You got caught in the clouds, oh

And I don't know myself now, no

Is it a bird or just a plane?

Is it a bird or a plane?

Is it a bird or just a plane?

Is it a bird or a plane?
