Million Dead - Margot Kidder Lyrics

You wouldn't know it to look at me,
but I'm a superhero
I've got x-ray vision and everything
My frail frame belies my strength
I can lift tall buildings
with one hand tied behind my back

But the morning after each episode
I wake up at home, alone

Despite my mediocre looks,
I'm daily dared by damsels
to fight international crime

In the end I always win the day -
I save the world, I get my girl
But the morning after each episode
I wake up at home, alone

The comfort of knowing that
I've saved you all wears thin

My superhuman efforts largely go unrewarded
The government won't take my phone calls

On my days off I hang around the centre of town,
but I don't get stopped
But the morning after each episode
I wake up at home, alone

The comfort of knowing that
I've saved you all wears thin
The day after each episode
I wake up and wish that I
wouldn't be expected to get out of bed and help mankind
I'd comb my hair a little differently and put on some glasses,
find somewhere to hide,
tell the United Nations they've got the wrong number and I'd live a quiet life
