Black Superman

Another day has passed
In this love affair that we swear now will ever 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
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’s comes hot Johnny again
That boy can ride the lightning and then go home and 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 wraps them wings around you ten feet long of downy love
And holding on so goddamn tight
She makes a man make plans she makes him fly away at night
All my life I have heard
You should only be a verb
Now you’re more than I deserve
So I’ll be leaving
And no black Superman is gonna come and save me
How many teardrops can I
Pretend to shed on each occasion that a man’s supposed to
How many innocent die
Before be 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
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 had 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
