about

I came up with these lyrics all at once while riding the Hamilton Street Railway (which is actually buses although historically they had streetcars like Toronto) en route to a meeting. I cannot tell you why I just delved into this odd story but I just felt somehow that Hamilton is an interesting city and the people are into art and art history and comic book everything! Probably I was wishing for Pudding Pops and this old fun idea that when we turn on the TV, our heroes are exactly what we dream them to be.

lyrics

When Jesus came from Jupiter with a smile on his face, he invited us all to spend a year in outer space. We called up Richard Branson to dust off the virgin galactic and tripped ourselves on out to the light fantastic. Unrepentant and brave, with a determined grin, we drove ourselves from bondage to unearthly sin. We’ll be coming back for you someday.

Hercules came to Hamilton and took a look around. He found some land on the mountain and thought he’d settle down. He lit a bright fire in the factories by the lake. In his mind, these were the candles on the cake. He thought about Olympus that place from which he came and realized he preferred it here where no one knew his name. We’re coming back for him someday.

Everyday we wake up is stranger than the last. Lurch toward the future while we exhume the past. We can’t keep our good memories of historic celebrities. We can’t have our Pudding Pops and our Bill Cosbys. Jesus came back for Hercules and brought the mighty Thor. Then they took the rainbow bridge up up and away from shore. We watched them fly away with electrifying speed. They collided with destiny and satisfied every need. They’ll be coming back for you someday.
