Superhero Songtext
von The House Jacks
Superhero Songtext
Slashing with stiletto nails, dripping blood and flesh from gleaming fangs
No mortal man could withstand your cogently demonical harangues
But as you zeroed in upon the shining prize you were born to take
Feigning humility you faltered, leaving chaos in your wake
You scratched the surface, but you couldn′t cut the cake
Superhero
You can't afford to bide your time
All eyes are upon you
All eyes are upon you
Superhero
Take charge of your story line
All eyes are upon you
All eyes are upon you
Why did you hesitate to catapult yourself into the fray?
Did you overestimate the strength of the opponents in your way?
Abandoning the battle you allowed it to be won by lesser men
Who rendered your assertions of supremacy impossible to defend
You dodged your enemies, but fell prey to your friends
Superhero
Now the hounds are on your trail
Don′t stop for a moment
Don't stop for a moment
Superhero
Cooler heads will not prevail
Don't stop for a moment
Don′t stop for a moment
And still your teeth are gnashing even though you′re captured in a fatal clench
You should have given up your tarnished throne for a seat down on the bench
You've traded immortality for the whisper of a sacred shibboleth
No cheering crowd can save you from the ear-splitting solitude of death
I′ll cross my fingers, but I sure won't hold my breath
Superhero
Now your snowball′s chance has passed
Your colors are fading
Your colors are fading
Superhero
Any day might be your last
Your colors are fading
Your colors are fading
No mortal man could withstand your cogently demonical harangues
But as you zeroed in upon the shining prize you were born to take
Feigning humility you faltered, leaving chaos in your wake
You scratched the surface, but you couldn′t cut the cake
Superhero
You can't afford to bide your time
All eyes are upon you
All eyes are upon you
Superhero
Take charge of your story line
All eyes are upon you
All eyes are upon you
Why did you hesitate to catapult yourself into the fray?
Did you overestimate the strength of the opponents in your way?
Abandoning the battle you allowed it to be won by lesser men
Who rendered your assertions of supremacy impossible to defend
You dodged your enemies, but fell prey to your friends
Superhero
Now the hounds are on your trail
Don′t stop for a moment
Don't stop for a moment
Superhero
Cooler heads will not prevail
Don't stop for a moment
Don′t stop for a moment
And still your teeth are gnashing even though you′re captured in a fatal clench
You should have given up your tarnished throne for a seat down on the bench
You've traded immortality for the whisper of a sacred shibboleth
No cheering crowd can save you from the ear-splitting solitude of death
I′ll cross my fingers, but I sure won't hold my breath
Superhero
Now your snowball′s chance has passed
Your colors are fading
Your colors are fading
Superhero
Any day might be your last
Your colors are fading
Your colors are fading
