Staring into the intersection

She thinks that she can fly and she might

Holding on in a new direction

She's gonna try it tonight

The closer I get to feeling

The further that I'm feeling from alright

The more I step into the sun

The more I step out of the light

Jessica is covered in a blanket

On a Sunday porch

Thinking of weekends she would party in the city

She doesn't have a flame

She'd prefer to burn out like a torch

If she gets nowhere in life

At least she knows she's pretty

Chorus

Hey now

The straw dogs out in the street

Hey now

There are chemicals in the clouds

Hey now

They're calling all the police

But they won't get to us anyhow

The moon is shining now

And shadows are what's left of all the noise

Simple silhouettes and cutouts

As if we had the choice

He listens closely now

Swears that he can hear a voice

That's calling him and saying

Chorus

What does it take to be a super hero

In my world?

Make no mistake that these villains

Always get the girl

We can escape and then we'll skate away from all of this

But no one ever does

Chorus
