Ordinary Superman

[Verse 1] He's unimaginative at his best but you know that's all right We like the way he sings He's unimaginative at his work but we say that that's OK He's made for better things He's not intelligent, we like the way he dances, yeah But you want to talk about this, and talk about that And everything he says is just impossibly fast He's never that bad, he's never that good He's always just a little bit and over understood And you say, "He's un-American, a little bit" [Verse 2] And you think that that's so cool You like a little bit, and if he's un-American a little bit Then you think that he's no fool Not matter if he is So alternative, he likes to take our chances And you want to talk about this, talk about that And everything he said is just impossibly crass He's never that bad, he's never that good He's always just a little bit and over understood And you say, "He's not intelligent, we like the way he dances" He's hearing voices he can't attribute to the ordinary noise What do you swallow to relax you ordinarily? He's looking forward to a little rest But you know that he's so tired He's fallen in a jar [Verse 3] And everybody's sympathetic more or less even if he's bombed or wired It's just the way we are He's so alternative, he likes the blue romances But you want to talk about this and talk about that And everything he does is just impossibly fast He's never that bad, he's never that good He's always just a little bit and over understood And you say, "he's so alternative, he like to take our chances." He's hearing voices he can't attribute to the ordinary noise What do you swallow to relax you ordinarily? Who's going to explain this mess to the mother of an ordinary boy? Who was expected to act extra ordinarily [Verse 4] But you want to talk about this, talk about that And everything he says is just impossibly fast He's never that bad, he's never that good He's always just a little bit ah ah ah ah I don't want to talk about it, I don't want to talk about it I don't want to talk about it, I don't want to, I don't want to I don't want to talk about it, I don't want to talk about it I don't want to no no no no no no yeah
