	Superhero once again showcases Michael's vocal talent and lyrical prowess, as well as some fun guitar licks. This is a clever little life story, beginning with childhood dreams of being Superman, through the escape from the everyday working world by transforming from a mild-mannered journalist into a performer on stage.
	CD: Don't Wait Up   Label: Eaglesongs Ltd./Orchard Credits: Written by Michael Eagleson. Produced by Jeff Pike Music Ltd.
	Story Behind the Song "The third verse (which was actually written first) was inspired by something said to me by a friend I was dating at the time. I was trying to work a day job, be a performer, search for a new day job, record a CD, design a Web site, and have a social life... while dating someone. She got frustrated one day and said 'You can't always be everything to everyone! You're not Superman!' Unfortunately for her, my social/dating life was the first thing that got cut back." Lyrics Superhero When I was only 8 years old I had a plastic mask and a cape of gold I flew around the house and my neighborhood With my best friend by my side And I dreamed of a day when I was older A little bit bigger, a little bit bolder When danger reared its ugly head I would never have to hide CHORUS: And I could be a superhero I could save the world in an afternoon I want to be a superhero But I've got to get back and clean my room But now I sit here every day Clicking the hours and the days away Just a mild-mannered, ambitious soul Clark Kent in the chains of men Through the door I shed my suit and tie The drones and workers wonder why But I leap up on the stage And no one knows who I am CHORUS: And I can be a superhero Escape this dreary world in the afternoon I want to be your superhero And fly you straight up to the moon But this Superman you fell in love with really isn't me And I just can't go on pretending I can be everything you want me to be CHORUS: And I can't be your superhero I can't save your world in this bedroom tonight No, I can't be your superhero anymore 'Cause this feeling just ain't right Oh baby, please understand me No I can't be your superhero I can't save your world this afternoon No, I can't be your superhero I just can't fly you to the moon COPYRIGHT 1999, MICHAEL EAGLESON
