Somebody Shaved Me! (Save Me, Remy Zero)

I have come nearly to the end of my parody-writing streak. Well, this one, anyway, though I'm having so much fun I don't plan to stop. However, my goal was 52 parodies by today, and this is number 51. Actually, it's number 56, since there were a few I decided not to post here and I wrote five more to make up for it. That being said...

This all started with Smallville, since the first in this string of parodies was my way of conveying birthday greetings to Michael Rosenbaum, as was the second. So this parody, to the tune of Save Me (which is, conveniently enough, Smallville's theme song), brings me full circle with the unofficial beginning of this project. I still haven't gotten past season three, by the way; it's just been too busy a summer for that. But my brother assures me that Lionel is the best part of the fourth season, so I can't wait to see that. I just wish I could see that beautiful hair again too...

Somebody Shaved Me!

I see my tresses touching his cold hands.
I see the locks that brought such great pride.

I can't help but wonder
If that hair helped me to get what I want - oh,
At least, what I wanted.
With nowhere to go but down,
I hit the ground.

Somebody shaved me!
Now my mane is gone forever.
Somebody shaved me!
It was a cruel endeavor.
I'm prey, prey...
Come on,
What a mean thing to do!

When did my son develop a black heart?
He would prefer it if I died.

I can't help but wonder
If he wants all the same things that I want - oh,
At least, what I wanted.
With nowhere to go but down,
I hit the ground.

Somebody shaved me!
Now my mane is gone forever.
Somebody shaved me!
It was a cruel endeavor.
I'm prey, prey...
Come on,
What a mean thing to do!

I am lost, but what I've found
Could shake that town.

Somebody shaved me!
Now my mane is gone forever.
Somebody shaved me!
It was a cruel endeavor.
I'm prey! (He hates me!)
The whole world once was mine, it's true...
I'm prey, prey...
Come on...
Why did I say, "Thank you"?
