Lyrics

i watched the cape float off your back
the press called it an attack of reality
and it struck a nerve running right through my lung
and i coughed up the images you'd fed me

so come on now, turn around once for me
perfection gleams from every angle
but underneath your skin there's a well of frustration
and it seeps to the surface like oil in water

the headlines will read that they found a defection
some new imperfection you'd been hiding
and you lied to us all; we expected your greatness
but you seem so human in different lighting

so come on now, try to smile once for me
your perfection seems to be fading
but i wasn't fooled by your shielding persona
the only thing worse was the waiting
