Little Johnny got the underlying clue
from the salamander and sniffing glue.
He made a plan to escape his pain
on his newfound friend and going insane.
When his friend had gone to find
and doctors examined his mind
He dreamed of a plan of escape
with a grin he wore his red superman cape.
He screamed 'Up, Up and Away!'
without another thing to say.
The Orderly on the ground couldn't believe
and how gravity couldn't retrieve.
How Johnny didn't know it wasen't play.
Where his futile dreams and the Salamander
somehow didn't seem to fit into Superman's planner.
When the sun shone on the red grass.
How it all seemed to shatter like glass.
