Superheroes Lyrics

Stay awhile longer sweet tongue of fur and feather
There is a white breast
Waiting for you here
Between the superheroes
And the electric blanket is warm

I could be sweet
I could be young, and fresh
If I weren't so old and used
and wet and wet, I am wet

I try not to ruin the moment
Tell me all your secrets and your torments
You're delicious, you're delicious
Send me on a quest for lullabies and more

What would it take for you to see
What I have got?
I've got more than you know
Open your eyes, I cannot be what I am not

I'm not what I used to be, I'm not what
I'm not what I used to be, and I
I don't know myself from anybody else
I'm not what I used to be, I'm not what
I'm not what I used to be, and I
You don't know what you have done
My frame is here but the mind is gone, gone away

So stay awhile longer sweet tongue of fur and feather
Don't cut the white breast
I've been waiting for you here

I'm not who I used to be
Bigger and better and faster and wetter
And bigger and better and faster and better

Cover art for Superheroes lyrics by Esthero

She said in concert that she wrote this song about a guy that she was in love with that is no longer living.

She's in love....

Cover art for Superheroes lyrics by Esthero

Damn it!!! I wish that a girl would feel this way about me again. So eager to impress and to give. She seems alittle lost within her own identity but that doesn't seem to matter because she is caught on the hopes of gaining attention from another. She also seems to want to be an outlet or comfortor for someone, "Tell me all your secrets and your torment." I don't know but I love this song.

Cover art for Superheroes lyrics by Esthero

ive always thought this song was about her being in love with a younger man-as in superhero sheets, electric blankets, etc...

Cover art for Superheroes lyrics by Esthero

it's about another woman.....

Cover art for Superheroes lyrics by Esthero

i agree, she's talking about another woman.... she's professing that she's just as good as another (younger) woman...

Cover art for Superheroes lyrics by Esthero

When I heard the line "Between the superheroes", all I could think of was Esthero wearing adult Underoos with Wonder Woman on them while being under an electric blanket.

Cover art for Superheroes lyrics by Esthero

i think it's "you're delicious. your delicious eyes send me on a quest for lullabies."

i always thought it was about the same as Venus as a Boy. sunrise, sunlight, white sheets in the morning. sight gives way to touch as the primary sense.

Esthero explains the origin of Superheroes during this interview. Whoever guessed it was about a past boyfriend got it right.
