Margot Kidder

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 --- Margot Kidder - Million Dead
