Waiting for Superman

She's watching the taxi driver he pulls away

She's been locked up inside her apartment a 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 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, In his arms

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, 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, In his arms

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, In his arms

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
