2019 Off-Broadway Superhero the Musical - It's Not Like In The Movies Lyrics
Bryce Pinkham and Kyle McArthur performing 'It's Not Like In The Movies' from Superhero.
JIM: No one can get too close No one can get inside of you No one can know the secrets that you keep
Your head is always down Hoping the people slide past you Almost as if you're walking in your sleep
And you can't cry though you hurt You are always on alert Though you try and you fight People die
It's not like in the movies Where the heroes love the unknown It's not like in the movies I spend my days alone I don't even get a hug From the kid stuck in the tree
It's not like in the movies No one knows it's me
You don't drive a tricked out car You don't work at a lab or the Daily...?
SIMON: (spoken) Planet?
JIM: (spoken) Right
JIM: For a boss who yells but has a heart of gold
You don't bleed or scrape or scar Well, at least not on the outside And you're at your peak But you can't help feeling old
You're always tired but you can't rest You often lose though you've done your best There's no parade, no city key Just an .....?....
It's not like in the movies It's a little more complex It's not like in the movies No CGI effects
I don't get to learn life lessons From my human family It's not like in the movies No one knows it's me
I try to hold the weight So I won't wake each day To cries of anguish In my head But if I disappear You'll all implode, that's clear It's gotten worse and worse with every passing year
I don't mean to sound so harsh I've also seen the good out there Empathy and kindness on display
But every time I think I can Release myself from this nightmare Someone tries to blow the world away
So, I don't wanna sound insincere But I think you should just forget what happened here 'Cause no one ever truly sees me
SIMON: (spoken) You're Jim, the man in 4B
JIM: Now, Simon, that's an ending I would really like to see But I can't make a life out of my secret identity
SIMON: (spoken) Why not?
JIM: It's not like in the movies No one knows it's me
