Late night, lost in the dark,
Smiles turn into frowns
In the mirror I can see,
Some makeup, I'd be a clown...
I'm on my own way down.

Spent my life, walking away,
Christ, did I know how to skip town?
Next time, I said, I'd face that challenge,
But you know I'll end up face down...
I'm on my own way down.

Superman, super powers,
Ya, my name will be renowned!
But if anyone knew what I'd been thinkin'
I guess I'd have to leave town!
I'm on my own way down...

Take back my sword and my kingdom,
my shield, my sash and my crown,
We all know that I'm just a poser...
Guess I'll see you around...
I'm on my own way down...

Superman, super powers,
Ya, my name will be renowned!
But if anyone knew what I'd been thinkin'
I guess I'd have to leave town!
I'm on my own way down...

I'm on my own way down.
