You wouldn't know it to look at me,
but I'm a superhero
I've got x-ray vision and everything
My frail frame belies my strength
I can lift tall buildings
with one hand tied behind my backBut the morning after each episode
I wake up at home, aloneDespite my mediocre looks,
I'm daily dared by damsels
to fight international crimeIn the end I always win the day -
I save the world, I get my girl
But the morning after each episode
I wake up at home, aloneThe comfort of knowing that
I've saved you all wears thinMy superhuman efforts largely go unrewarded
The government won't take my phone callsOn my days off I hang around the centre of town,
but I don't get stopped
But the morning after each episode
I wake up at home, aloneThe comfort of knowing that
I've saved you all wears thin
The day after each episode
I wake up and wish that I
wouldn't be expected to get out of bed and help mankind
I'd comb my hair a little differently and put on some glasses,
find somewhere to hide,
tell the United Nations they've got the wrong number and I'd live a quiet life
