[Verse]
She s watching the taxi driver and pulls away
She s been locked up inside her apartment a hundred days
She says, Yeah, he s still coming, just a little bit late
He got stuck at the laundromat washing his cape
She s just watching the clouds roll by and they spell her name like Lois Lane
And she smiles, oh the way she smiles
[Chorus]
She s talking to angels, counting the stars
Making a wish on a passing car
Sh es dancing with strangers, falling apart
Waiting for Superman to pick her up
In his arms,
In his arms
Waiting for Superman
[Verse]
She s out on the corner trying to catch a glimpse
(still )
Nothing s making sense
She s been chasing an answer
A sign lost in the abyss, this Metropolis
She says... Yeah, he s still coming, just a little bit late
He got stuck at the Five and Dime saving the day
She says... If life was a movie, then it wouldn t end like this
Left without a kiss
Still, she smiles, the way she smiles, yeah
[Chorus]
She s talking to angels, she s counting the stars
Making a wish on a passing car
She s dancing with strangers, she s falling apart
Waiting for Superman to pick her up
In his arms,
In his arms
She s waiting for Superman
[Verse]
To lift her up and take her anywhere
Show her love and climbing through the air
Save her now before it s too late tonight
Oh, like a speeding light
And she smiles
[Chorus]
(pause)
She s talking to angels, she s counting the stars
Making a wish on a passing car
She s dancing with strangers, she s falling apart
Waiting for Superman to pick her up
In his arms,
In his arms
She s waiting for Superman
[Verse]
To lift her up and take her anywhere
Show her love and climbing through the air
Save her now before it s too late tonight
Sheâs waiting for Superman
