Life of a Comic Book Hero

from The Best of Bennett Neuhauser by Bennett Neuhauser

about

The song that proves capes and masks can never disguise true love for long. Alter ego, incognito, the longing of loving can lead to the Life of a Comic Book Hero.

The Life of a Comic Book Hero
© 1998 Bennett Neuhauser. All rights reserved. BMI®.
Bennett Neuhauser is a.k.a .Ben Sage

I’m a happy, normal guy, except when you come walkin’ by
Then I feel so miserable, the real me turns invisible

I make like a man of steel, so you won’t know how weak I feel
’Cause I’m afraid you’ll never see my secret true identity

It’s the life of a comic book hero
It’s the life of a comic book hero

I’d like to show you who I am, and just exactly why I’m here
I’ll only say, if you need love, you have nothing more to fear

It’s the life of a comic book hero (Comic, comic, comic book hero)
It’s the life of a comic book hero

Up, up and away ...! [Instrumental break] (Comic, comic, comic book hero)

I know it’s quite a lot to ask, to see the man behind the mask
But once you look past my disguise, you’ll find your hero waiting in my eyes

It’s the life of a comic book hero (Comic, comic, comic book hero)
It’s the life of a comic book hero

Maybe I’m too mild mannered to show up on your romance scanners
But once you give these lips a try, you’ll believe that you can fly

It’s the life of a comic book hero (Comic, comic, comic book hero)
It’s the life of a comic book hero

It’s the life ... (Comic, comic, comic book hero)
It’s the life ... (Comic, comic, comic book hero)
It’s the life of a comic book hero

It’s the life ... (Comic, comic, comic, comic book hero)
It’s the life ... (Comic, comic, comic, comic book hero)
It’s the life of a comic book hero.

The End? Be here in 30, true believer
