Imaginary Heroes
Melanie Safka
Jimmy was ten when they found him in bed
Unexplained bruises and words unsaid
The clock on the wall was still counting the time
But that's all it did when Jimmy was nine
Mother was busy with a bottle of gin
Father couldn't take and he took it out on him
The clock on the wall was still counting the time
But that's all it did when Jimmy was nine
Imaginary heroes they played upon his bed
He said "Superman will save me when he gets in red
He'll take me to a paradise I dream of far away"
But then superman when off the air
And the dream slipped away
Imaginary heroes they played upon his bed
He said "Superman will save me when he gets in red
He'll take me to a paradise I dream of far away"
But then superman when off the air
And the dream slipped away
Jimmy was ten when they found him in bed
Unexplained bruises and words unsaid
The clock on the wall played right through the end
And that's all it did when Jimmy was ten
Imaginary heroes they played upon his bed
He said "Superman will save me when he gets in red
He'll take me to a paradise I dream of far away"
But then superman when off the air…
