When you want
To see them off
And your arm isn't
Long enough
Then semaphore
The lookout boy
It's twice the risk
And twice the joy
And you can find
Your piece of mind
A shock-dog took
Your alibi
I'm wide awake
I want to see
A clowns big break
Came back to me
She's, she's regal round
She's getting through the bricks
And fucking up the ground
Get on it superhero
Just a word
Amongst the plea's
As we relive the
Intensity
A meteor show
A subtle ploy
For boys and girls
And girls and boys
And you can try
To hide behind
Your natural urge
To pacify
A giant cloud
The diamond sea
Just go ahead
Compliantly
He's not coming round
He's making plans
And getting ready to surround
Get on it superhero.
To see them off
And your arm isn't
Long enough
Then semaphore
The lookout boy
It's twice the risk
And twice the joy
And you can find
Your piece of mind
A shock-dog took
Your alibi
I'm wide awake
I want to see
A clowns big break
Came back to me
She's, she's regal round
She's getting through the bricks
And fucking up the ground
Get on it superhero
Just a word
Amongst the plea's
As we relive the
Intensity
A meteor show
A subtle ploy
For boys and girls
And girls and boys
And you can try
To hide behind
Your natural urge
To pacify
A giant cloud
The diamond sea
Just go ahead
Compliantly
He's not coming round
He's making plans
And getting ready to surround
Get on it superhero.
