She's watching the taxi driver, he pulls away
She's been locked up inside of 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 Louis Lane
And she smiles
Oh the way she smiles

She's talking to angels, 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, yeah
In his arms, yeah
Waiting for Superman

She's out on the corner trying to catch a glimpse
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
Oh the way she smiles, yeah

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, yeah
In his arms, yeah

Waiting for Superman

To lift her up and take her anywhere
Show her love and flying through the air
Save her now before it's too late tonight
Oh, at the speed of light

And she smiles

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, yeah
Oh, in his arms, yeah

She's waiting for Superman
To lift her up, and take her anywhere
Show her love, and flying through the air
Save her now, before it's too late tonight
She's waiting for Superman
