Superman Songtext

von Julia Marcell

Please be careful with me Gin
I am only seventeen
Looking skinny like a model
With my eyes all painted black

And with this longing in my heart
I am here to play my part
Like a dog caught in the headlights
On this family photograph

How can I feel good now when
You ask me to look out for you?
Joanna, you are never gonna stay
So she stands there with a grin
Takes a bigger sip to kill the mood
She's in and tells me her own way

She says, I believe god or superman
One of them has to get me off this dump tonight
And I believe in bands and miracles
And they will sweep me off my feet tonight
With technicolor love delight

There is one thing on my mind
Ever since you've been so kind
Telling me how sorrow grew
Bit by bit inside of you

And how you always relocate
And how you lost yourself a bit
And how you never really knew
That devil never left your pit

But if your life is like a film
Then let me steal your story too
Even if I got your lines all wrong
'Cause when I write I'm Robert Smith
I've got this million dollars bit
The stadiums' gonna have their perfect song

They'll go, I believe god or superman
One of them has to get me off this dump tonight
And I believe in bands and miracles
And they will sweep me off my feet tonight
With technicolor love delight

Oh come on the night is young
We could be having so much fun
Let the neighbours hear us growl
"Major Tom to ground control"

And teach me how to live right now
I gotta make it work somehow
There's no one coming in to save my soul
