Superhero Lyrics by Ani DiFranco

Superhero Lyrics

    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

    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 me
    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
