Waiting For Superman

She's watching the taxi driver

He pulls away (pulls away, pulls away), she's been

Locked up inside her apartment a hundred days

(hundred days, hundred days) She says



"Yeah, he's still coming, just a little bit late"

"He got stuck at the laundromat washing his cape" she's just

Watching the clouds roll by and they spell her name

(spell her name) Like Lois Lane and she smiles, Oh, the way she smiles



She's talking to angels, counting the stars

Making a wish on a passing car

She's dancing with strangers, falling apart

Waiting for Superman to pick her up

In his arms, Yeah, in his arms, Yeah, waiting for Superman



She's out on the corner trying to catch a glimpse

Nothing's making sense she's been

Chasing an answer a sign lost in the abyss

This Metropolis she says



"Yeah, he's still coming, just a little bit late"

"He got stuck at the Five and Dime saving the day" she says

"If life was a movie, then it wouldn't end like this"

Left without a kiss still she smiles, Oh-Oh the way she smiles, Yeah



She's talking to angels, she's counting the stars

Making a wish on a passing car

She's dancing with strangers, she's falling apart

Waiting for Superman to pick her up

In his arms, Yeah, in his arms, Yeah, she's waiting for Superman



To lift her up, and take her anywhere

Show her love, and climbing through the air

Save her now, before it's too late tonight

Oh, like a speeding light, and she smiles



She's talking to angels, she's counting the stars

Making a wish on a passing car

She's dancing with strangers, she's falling apart

Waiting for Superman to pick her up

In his arms, Yeah, Oh in his arms, Yeah, she's waiting for Superman



To lift her up, and take her anywhere

Show her love, and climbing through the air

Save her now, before it's too late tonight

She's waiting for Superman
