While you were sleeping a searchlight sent a beacon across the city\\
Through a custom made gobo the searchlight shone a logo and a name\\
At their secret headquarters in a cave on the outskirts of the city\\
From out of the darkness the fantastic and the marvellous never came\\

Our heroes\\

The police chief commissioner is in jail and the fire station's burning\\
A school bus has a blow out and it's not safe to go outside at night\\
On the hospital rooftops a sniper takes pot shots at the nurses\\
There's no one to save us, like the time that the angels went on strike\\

Our heroes\\

In my high school science days I was exposed to radiation waves\\
That left me with my super powers, a super weakling super coward\\
And baby if you want me to I'll wear a mask and cape for you\\
To hide my true identity and every day I'll try to be\\

Your hero\\
