Superhero

sleep walking through the all-nite drug store
 baptized in fluorescent 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
 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 were like a phone booth
 that i somehow stumbled into
 and now look at me
 i am just like everybody else
 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 me
 stripped me of my power
 stripped me down
 i used to be a superhero
 no one could hurt me
 not even myself
 you were like a phone booth
 that i somehow stumbled into
 and now look at me
 i am just like everybody else
 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
 and 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
 but you were like a phone booth
 that i somehow stumbled into
 and now look at me
 i am just like everybody else
 i am just like everybody else
