"Save Me"
Song lyrics, Magnolia: Music from the Motion Picture (1999)

Like Peter Pan, or Superman,
You have come... to save me.
Come on and save me...
Why don't you save me?

Who suspect they could never love anyone,
Except the freaks,
Who could never love anyone.

As quoted in Book XVIII of Ammianus's History.
