Superheroes
Baby, we met the glow
Of Texaco’s neon light
Under the hovering roof of flickering lights
We made up our anthem song to the sound of our beating hearts
And waited for the sky to dissolve into the night
’Cause baby, you and I
Had capes of gold
The rain was never cold, when we were young
those nights
When we were superheroes
Baby, the streets of this town
Had always been strange to us
Two lost souls in a maze out of concrete and green
The figures and the faces, we met all seemed so dangerous
Like archenemies hiding behind the scenes
But baby, you and I
Had capes of gold
The rain was never cold, when we were young
Out on those nights
When we were superheroes
We chased our dreames down the violet sky
Only you and I would ever know
Out on those nights
When we were superheroes
Baby, there’s an empty sky where the neon star used to be
The signs don’t work, and the lamps don’t flicker no more
I still walk these streets, but I can’t seem to fix up these blues in me
I turn to the sky for your figure, ‘till the night turns to dawn
‘Cause baby, you and I
Had capes of gold
The rain was never cold, when we were young
Out on those nights
When we were superheroes
Baby, you and I
Had capes of gold
The rain was never cold, when we were young
Out on those nights
When we were superheroes
We chased our dreames down the violet sky
Only you and I would ever know
Out on those nights
When we were superheroes
