lyrics

Automatic Superman
Bears such a heavy load
Sick truth in his X-ray vision
Waiting to explode

We demand that he should stand
We lay down prone with empty hands
Left struggling to understand
Why he skipped out for good

Who’s there?

Hold on have we lost him yet?
I’m sure that he’ll return
Hang on every word I say
Repeat them ‘til you’re sure

Problematic Superman
As tired as he’s old
His emblem hides his broken heart
And his deeds all seem so cold

The only way to kill the man
Could only come from his own hand
And when we found him dead at last
You’d think we understood

He’s dead!

Hold on have we lost him yet?
I’m sure that he’ll return
Hang on every word I say
Repeat them ‘til you’re sure

This is a great album. Kinda like if Guided By Voices used GarageBand instead of a 4-track. Ben Spizuco
