"Superkid" lyrics

"Superkid"

Oh, he slammed that door
Threw the cape up on his shelf and held on
He was just praying for a chance to save him from himself
'Cause he's lost

Child, you went from small-town
To kicking with Superman in mansions off of Sunset
How are you not happy?
Come down, you're missing your love back on the earth
Is it worth it?
Is it worth it?

So, hide your face
Smile at the people even if it's fake
'Cause they can't know your kryptonite
Fly around the city, make 'em think you're fine
But you can't save them
(Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh, oh-oh)
But you can't save 'em all
(Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh)

Oh, you picked up the phone and the mayor was on the line
What are you waiting for?
Oh, why are you empty?
When you saw the signal in the sky
But you wanted more

Child, you went from small-town
To kicking with Superman in mansions off of Sunset
How are you not happy?
Come down, you're missing your love back on the earth
Is it worth it?
Is it worth it?

So, hide your face
Smile at the people even if it's fake
'Cause they can't know your kryptonite
Fly around the city, make 'em think you're fine
But you can't save them
(Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh, oh-oh)
But you can't save 'em all
(Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh)

So, hide your face
Smile at the people even if it's fake
'Cause they can't know your kryptonite
Fly around the city, make 'em think you're fine
But you can't save them
(Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh, oh-oh)
But you can't save 'em all
Woo-woo, ooh (Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh)
