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
