There is this one song I don't know, lyrics are: "I am, I am, I am superman...and I can do anything..."

Question

I first heard those lyrics on an epsiode of CSI:NY. It was the epsiode where a mentally ill kid thought he was superman and got murdered.

can you tell me this song?

Answer 1

It is by REM and it is called Superman
from the album: Life's Rich Pageant (1986)

I am, I am, I am superman
And I know what's happening.
I am, I am, I am superman
And I can do anything.

You don't really love that guy you make it with now do you?
I know you don't love that guy 'cause I can see right through you.

I am, I am, I am superman
And I know what's happening.
I am, I am, I am superman
And I can do anything.

If you go a million miles away I'll track you down girl.
Trust me when I say I know the pathway to your heart.
