ANI DIFRANCO lyrics : "Superhero"

sleepwalking through the all-nite drugstore
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


'cos 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 $$#hole
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 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
