Skipping streets in springtime Chasing sunlight on my bike And I could chalk the sidewalk Any color that I liked Blowing dandelions Fairground rides and climbing trees And mother's kiss or candy For every injured knee There are no action heroes out there To come and save the world from harm Superman can't move his legs And I can't use my arms Superman can't move his legs Grandma's cake and candles Magic bean plants in a jar Shared baths and bedtime stories From Prickly Leg to Matthew Star Sleeping Beauty's sleeping
I'm not the boy I used to be Surrounded by the bad guys The only fairy here is me There are no action heroes out there To come and save the world from harm Superman can't move his legs And I can't use my arms Superman can't move his legs I don't know much but If I've learned something from the past It's: girls go for a**holes And happy endings never last There are no action heroes out there To come and save the world from harm Superman can't move his legs And I can't use my arms Superman can't move his legs
