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
