Lois Lane Songtext

von Uncle Bonsai

If only Lois knew
Clark Kent could see through her dress
She would have flown to his arms
And uncovered his "S"
She could have torn off his trousers
Discovered his tights
He wouldn't put up a fight

If only Lois knew
That at the time of ascent
Superman blasted off
And there wasn't no Kent
She would have clung to his wingspan
A fly on the wall
He wouldn't let her fall

But her mouth never moved
And her hair stayed in place
Too little magic
In so stiff a face
Framed in the funnies
Captioned and stripped
Ten cents a copy
Too cheap a script

If only Lois knew
That Kent was light years away
That in the name of Krypton
He was saving the day
She could have leapt on his steno
In one single bound
But he was never around

She wouldn't know love
If it wasn't out flying
And it broke all her pencils without trying
If he took off his glasses
And he blew her a kiss
And a windstorm ensued in Metropolis
Lois was lost on the man made of granite
Lost in her own daily planet

If only Lois knew
That at the scene of a crime
Kent was not to be seen
But always filed on time
He always scooped up a story
In super disguise
She always looked so surprised

He kept an x-ray eye upon her
She slept alone on Loveless Lane
He never sacrificed his honor
He never took her on his plane
She didn't like the meek and shrinking
She always thought she'd like to fly
He always knew what she was thinking
When she was staring at the sky

She wouldn't know love
If it only went one way
Taking off with her desk as a runway
If he told her the truth
And the rules of the order
As he dressed in the phone booth
And he asked her for quarters
Lois was lost on the man made of granite
Lost in her own daily planet

If only Lois knew
Clark Kent could see through her dress
She would have flown to his arms
And uncovered his "S"
She could have had herself a layout
Some news she could feel
With the man made of steel
