lyrics

If I was Clark Kent I think that you'd be Lois Lane,
If I was Peter Parker I think that you would be Mary Jane,
But we could not be both, at least not simultaneously,
Because one's the Marvel universe, the other is DC,
Besides I'm using superheroes for this analogy,
When it's clear that I read Fantagraphics, D&Q, and all of those indies,
So I'd be David Boring, you could be Ramona Flowers,
'Cause their worlds are allowed to collide just like ours did.

When you first came in the shop I wondered what you'd read,
I mean, are you devout on F.C.Ware or on John Constantine?
'Cause I don't have an alias and I don't have a cape,
I don't fight crime but I thought that you just might love me all the same,
But if you like I could dress up in a spandex leotard,
I'd wear my underpants on the outside if you would wear my heart.

The first try was a train wreck, no civilians were hurt,
But I'd think twice about another confrontational outburst,
With anti-hero efforts strewn all about the place,
A not-so-super sweating, shaking, mumbling, clumsy red face,
And too many thought bubbles for the panel I was in,
I needed one hell of a plot twist 'cause my chest was caving in.

And then like Pheobe does for Drinky Crow you broke me out the box,
You are my penciller, my inker and my colours when I'm lost,
I'm animated, moved along with grace and eloquence,
You write my character so clearly in the past and future tense.

Some day everyone will know your name,
And they'll ask 'is it a bird, is it a plane?'
Are you a bird? Are you a plane?
More to the point, I am insane?
And when this sequence of events is done, will we remain?
To be continued...
