Black Superman Lyrics

Another day has passed
In this love affair that we swear now will never last
Another night is here
And you will kiss me darkly, I will hold you close my dear
But how many dreams can I
Unravel in the morning before I have to face you
How many seams can I
Destroy by tearing off your underwear as if I chase you
(Chorus)
When all my life, I have heard you should only be a bird
Now you're more than I deserve so I'll be leaving
And no black Superman is gonna come and save me
Here comes Hot Johnny again
That boy could ride the lightning and then go home to eat again
He's everything I'll never be
He's got the feathered hair and a lot of things the ladies see
Got him an albatross love
She's wraps those wings around you ten feet long of doubted love
And holdin' on so God damned tight
She makes a man make plans she makes him fly away at night
(Chorus)
And all my life, I have heard you should only be a bird
Now you're more than I deserve so I'll be leaving
And no black Superman is gonna come and save me
(Musical Interlude)
How many teardrops can I
Pretend to shed on each occasion that a man's supposed to
How many innocent die
Before we both admit we never care unless we're close to
How many wishes are left
Before we both admit it isn't getting better
How many dishes are left
Before you call it quits and cease to be the willing wedder
(Chorus)
When all my life, I have heard you should only be a bird
Now you're more than I deserve so I'll be leaving
And no black Superman is gonna come and save me this time?
All my life, I have heard you should only be a bird
Now you're more than I deserve so I'll be leaving
And no black Superman is gonna come and save me
