Ball Point Man

Up, up, and away
Ball point man's come to save the day

Up, up, and away
Ball point man's come to save the day

Up, up, and away
Ball point man's come to save the day

Up, up, and away
Ball point man's come to save the day
I've got sass and savvy
Pack flash by the paragraph

I'm more novel than War and Peace
I fight beasts
Up to the teeth on the daily
My pen is my sword and thank Lord, never fails me

I remember back in the days of my youth
When I used to run around
On the block with a few friends
Knickers and kickers

And stickers on our big wheels
Mind tricks
and Kung Fu grips
Was the big deal

At nighttime we'd fight crime
Defending civilians
Mounting extra sensory offenses
Against the villains

By the millions
'Cause we instilled fear
Jimmy quit, Joey got married
But I'm still here

Up, up, and away
Ball point man's come to save the day

Up, up, and away
Ball point man's come to save the day

I've got my head in the clouds but I'm grounded
The superhero's stuck to the pavement and I'm pounded
Astounded by the sound of unfounded speculation
By authorities around to confound the population

Now look whose well, I propose top break the shell
The coffee shop carves lights into the spill
These visions of cathedrals from a shopping mall
And philosophy from a bathroom wall

So what can I expect without hesitation
To my devastation
My notebook is my battlefield I run tons of slums
And I can leap a metaphor in a single bound

Up, up, and away
Ball point man's come to save the day

Up, up, and away
Ball point man's come to save the day

I'm biding my time
I'm biding my time
I'm biding my time
I'm biding my time

I'm biding my time
Waiting for a sign
To be sent to me
To unleash the power of my secret identity

But until that day
I will stay for the time being
Incognito laying low with my rhyme scheme
But Shazam

I marvel like the captain
And my inopportunistic impotence
In the face of distraction
In action makes me a good guy

Like Mathis, so I battle Black Mantis
In the bathtub , like Aqua man
Minions of evil heed this tirade
It's a parade of polemics and I love a parade

So I ride into the sunset
With the money and the girl
But in my spare time
I still save the world

Up, up, and away
Ball point man's come to save the day

Up, up, and away
Ball point man's come to save the day
