Sleepwalking though the all-night drug store
|
babtized in flouresant light
|
I found religion in a greeting card
|
Now I know hallmark was right
|
|
and every pop song on the radio
|
is suddenly speaking to me
|
Art may imitate life but life imitatates tv
|
|
And I used to be a superhero
|
No one could touch me
|
Not even myself
|
And you were like a phonebooth
|
I somehow stumbled into
|
Now look at me
|
I am just like everybody else
|
|
|
If I was dressed in my best defences
|
And you were gonna meet me for coffee
|
If I play tricks with smoke and mirrors, darling,
|
would you still know which one was me
|
If I was naked and screaming on your front lawn
|
Would you turn on the light and come down screaming
|
Where's the ass-hole who did this to me
|
Striped me of my power
|
He stripped me down
|
|
And I used to be a superhero
|
No one could hurt me
|
Not even myself
|
And you were like a phonebooth
|
I somehow stumbled into
|
Now look at me
|
I am just like everybody else
|
|
Now you've been gone exactly two weeks
|
Two weeks and three days
|
Now I'm a different person, honey
|
Different in so many ways
|
|
Tell me what did you like about me?
|
No, don't say my strength and daring,
|
Now I'm at your mercy,
|
'Cause it's my first time for this kinda thing
|
|
and I used to be a superhero
|
I would swoop down and
|
Save me from myself
|
And you were like a phonebooth
|
I somehow stumbled into
|
Now look at me
|
I am just like everybody else
|
|
And I used to be a superhero
|
No one could touch me
|
Not even myself
|
And you were like a phonebooth
|
I somehow stumbled into
|
Now look at me
|
I am just like everybody else
|
I am just like everybdy else
