Ani DiFranco Follow

Sleepwalking through the all-nite drug store
Baptized in fluorescent light
I found religion in the greeting card aisle
Now I know Hallmark was right

And every pop song on the radio
Is suddenly speaking to me
Yeah, art may imitate life
But life imitates T.V.

'Cause you've been gone exactly two weeks
Two weeks and three days
And let's just say that things look different now
Different in so many ways

'Cause I used to be a superhero
No one could touch me
Yeah, not even myself
You are like a phone booth
That I somehow stumbled into
And now look at me:
I am just like everybody else
I am just like everybody else

If I was dressed in my best defenses
Would you agree to meet me for coffee?
If I did my tricks with smoke and mirrors
Would you still know which one was me?
If I was naked and screaming on your front lawn
Would you turn on the light and come down?
Screaming: "There's the asshole who did this to me!
Stripped me of my power!
Stripped me down!"

'Cause I used to be a superhero
No one could hurt me
Yeah, not even myself
You are like a phone booth
That I somehow stumbled into
Now look at me:
I am just like everybody else
I am just like everybody else

Yeah, you've been gone exactly two weeks
Two weeks and three days
And now I'm a different person
Different in so many ways

And tell me, what did you like about me?
And don't say my strength and daring
'Cause now I think I'm at your mercy
And it's my first time for this kind of thing

'Cause I used to be a superhero
I would swoop down
And save me from myself
And you are like a phone booth
That I somehow stumbled into
And now look at me:
I am just like everybody else

I am just like everybody else...
