Ani Difranco - Superhero Lyrics
Sleepwalking through the all-nite drugstoreBaptized in flourescent lightI found religion in the greeting card aisleNow I know hallmark was rightAnd every pop song on the radioIs suddenly speaking to meYeah, art may imitate lifeBut life imitates t.v.cuz youve been gone exactly two weeksTwo weeks and three daysAnd lets just say that things look different nowDifferent in so many waysI used to be a superheroNo one could touch meNot even myselfYou are like a phone boothI somehow stumbled intoAnd now look at meI am just like everybody elseIf I was dressed in my best defensesWould you agree to meet me for coffeeIf I did my tricks with smoke and mirrorsWould you still know which one was meIf I was ***** and screamingOn your front lawnWould you turn on the light and come downScreaming, theres the *****Who did this to meStripped me of my powerStripped me downI used to be a superheroNo one could touch meNot even myselfYou are like a phone boothI somehow stumbled intoAnd now look at meI am just like everybody elseYeah youve been gone exactly two weeksTwo weeks and three daysAnd now Im a different personDifferent in so many waysTell me what did you like about meDont say my strength and daringcuz now I think Im at your mercyAnd its my first time for this kind of thingI used to be a superheroI would swoop down and save meFrom myselfYou are like a phone boothThat I somehow stumbled intoAnd now look at meI am just like everybody elseI am worse than everybody else
