 Become A Better Singer In Only 30 Days, With Easy Video Lessons!

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 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 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
That 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
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 am just like everybody else
