Superpowers
I've seen the world's most beautiful women undress in ordinary solitude
I've fallen asleep in shift of distant satin
I've watched the rich risk it all for
Fifteen minutes in a Heathrow bathroom
I've shuddered as an unseen mouth slid down my spine every night
I have seized with the ice cold rage
Of a lover betrayed half a million miles away
I have cried so hard for hours and not known why, I never do
I've been knocked down flat by joy
That makes my face pulse like a sugar high
I've been cornered by the screams of a body as it freed itself of it's mind
I guess you could call it 'Superpowers'
But no one is going to save the world with what I've got
An indigo light from silvery towers
Surrounded by rocks and stones as far as the eye can see
I've been lost in a cold white space
As an arrogant dream storms in from another life
I have felt the snaps of lines that bind us all to this world
I have felt such unreal pain and not known what to do, it isn't mine
I have stayed awake for weeks and slept for days, not one dream
I guess you could call it 'Superpowers'
But no one is going to save the world with what I've got
An indigo light from silvery towers
Surrounded by rocks and stones as far as the eye can see
Under low gray skies
And a razored wind that tears at the walls
