- sleep walking through the all-nite drug store
- 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
- 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
- that 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 the 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
- that i somehow stumbled into
- and now look at me
- i am just like everybody else
- you've been gone exactly two weeks
- two weeks and three days
- 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 are like a phone booth
- that i somehow stumbled into
- and now look at me
- i'm like everybody else
