Wonderwoman

The hours you've been building up
You're under house arrest now, mate
You call me up and you're crying
So I grab my pass, and I run
The dark of everybody's day
Has found its way into your life
And like you drown beneath the weight of my tears
We always miss the signs
And babe
Even wonderwoman gets tired sometimes

I think of you as autumn falls
The leaves descend, you climb the walls
I still think it's passion makes us crazy
Aren't we all a little bit crazy?
With all the love you shed on us
How can you be so sure
Of love for yourself
I guess it's never going to change
We always miss the signs
And babe
Even wonderwoman gets tired sometimes

And you fly around all day
Save us from the bad guys
You never ask for thanks
Or ever say:
"You know what, I had it up to here okay?
So leave me be and take my cape
Go save yourselves, I'm not feeling great today."

You hear an old lady cry
And reach out for your touch
And find the nearest phone box
Someone's got to save her if they can

Monster trucks and comic books
Your flawless superhero looks
They melt away when fire boy gets his way
We always miss the signs
And mate
Even wonderwoman gets tired sometimes

And you fly around all day
Save us from the bad guys
You never ask for thanks
Or ever say:
"You know what, I had it up to here okay?
So leave me be and take my cape
Go save yourselves, I'm not feeling great today."

The world is watching
They don't see
You in the phone box
Phoning me
Your tears are the only things
Running from the sky

A super soul needs space to mend
Even wonderwoman needs a friend
To chill out with and have a little cry
We're all the same
We all ignore the signs

So fly around all day
Save us from the bad guys
You never ask for thanks
Or ever say:
"You know what, I've had it up to here okay?
So leave me be and take my cape
Go save yourselves, I'm not feeling great today."
