Superhero Lyrics

baptized in flourescent light

i found religion in the greeting card aisle

now i know hallmark was right

and every pop song on the radio

is suddenly speaking to me

yeah, art may imitate life

but life imitates t.v.

'cuz you've been gone exactly two weeks

two weeks and three days

and let's just say that things look different now

different in so many ways

i used to be a superhero

no one could touch me

not even myself

you are like a phone booth

i somehow stumbled into

and now look at me

i am just like everybody else

if i was dressed in my best defenses

would you agree to meet me for coffee

if i did my tricks with smoke and mirrors

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, there's the asshole

who did this to meAni Difranco - Superhero - http://motolyrics.com/ani-difranco/superhero-lyrics.html

stripped me of my power

stripped me down

i used to be a superhero

no one could touch me

not even myself

you are like a phone booth

i somehow stumbled into

and now look at me

i am just like everybody else

yeah you've been gone exactly two weeks

two weeks and three days

and now i'm a different person

different in so many ways

tell me what did you like about me

don't say my strength and daring

'cuz now i think i'm at your mercy

and it's my first time for this kind of thing

i used to be a superhero

i would swoop down and save me

from myself

you are like a phone booth

that i somehow stumbled into

and now look at me

i am just like everybody else

i am worse than everybody else
