Part One

The horror, it was Zorro

He was wearin' a mask

I was out with my folks

And we was havin' a laugh

We didn't do this too often,

mingle with the proletariats

folks were [?]

And too often they were scaredy cats

Always goin' out

Leavin' me with the help

Always raising funds

And I'm left by myself

They saw that I was missin out

On being a kid

Dad said we're going out

And I'm flippin' my lid

I was lost in the dark

like that time in the cave

Surrounded by bats

Alone and afraid

Big Z on my screen

Meant dueling and danger

Someone so evil

Can focus their anger

A hero that sent the injust to their ruin

A mask to protect from people pursuin'

A cape to conceal a collection of tricks

And eveything black, on this he insists

I am the Batman

I jump up and then I land

You don't know what I got in my hand

The shape of a bat you go "SPLAT!" and "KABLAM!"

I am the Dark Knight

I do whats right, but I do it out of spite

Don't look quite right if you turn on the light

I'll land with a boom [?] fight

Dad had the limo out back

I was sacked out cause I'm a little lad

Don't wanna be older, head's on a shoulder

I heard a loud sound, and I went on the ground

It was sad [?] and my father was dead

My mother was screamin' till she was shot in the head.

See pearls in a puddle that was suddenly red

The memory gets muddled except what the man said

"Ever dance with the Devil

In the pail moon light?"

A riddle I'll remember

For the rest of my life

This killer was a chiller

I was froze to the bone

Alfred found me, I was howlin'

Like a pup on his own

I made a promise to my parents

In the circle of light

I would vanquish evil in a cape

Maybe some tights

I didn't know how I would do it

Or which form I would take

I just knew it was a creature

Only I could create

I am the Batman

I jump up and then I land

You don't know what I got in my hand

The shape of a bat you go "SPLAT!" and "KABLAM!"

I am the Dark Knight

I do whats right, but I do it out of spite

Don't look quite right if you turn on the light

I'll land with a boom [?] fight

[?]

pack plenty of socks

brought a legion of luggage

drug it down to the docks

But I gave them the slip

Stowed away on a freight

I was pissed with being rich

Life's a bitch, so they say

Foreign land, with the plan

and the knowledge within

for soon I'd be a man

that would need to begin

This quest to be best

And defend the opressed

Packed in the projects

Like objects and pests

I'd have to return

But for now, I would train

I learned tracking and hunting

On the African plain

In China learned Tao

Japan, I learned Jiu Jitsu

Don't believe you would bleed

Well let me convince you

Nerve pinch [?]

[?]

Used the Quivering Palm

In a fight take a life

Over a hundred forms

Of hand-to-hand anguish

[?]

Learned every language

Studied [?] with ninjas

disguise and escape

Leanred boxing, detoxing

Concealing with capes

Went to Cambridge, [?]

But never for too long

'Fore the end of the semester

I would have to be gone

Came home to forgotten

Gothem's so rotton and twisted

Came home to my mansion

It's a vast stash of riches

Brooding in the darkness

With a bust of my father

A bat through the window

A question of honor

I am the Batman

I jump up and then I land

You don't know what I got in my hand

The shape of a bat you go "SPLAT!" and "KABLAM!"

I am the Dark Knight

I do whats right, but I do it out of spite

Don't look quite right if you turn on the light

I'll land with a boom [?] fight
