In dodgeball I always got picked second to last.
I was kinda big and I couldn't really run very fast.
Everyone would say; How much does your shadow weigh?
Then hit me in the face, ‘cause I couldn't run away.
Oh, why can’t there be a Rock’em Sock’em Robot Team?
There were never any really cute girls at the Playground Arcade.
At fourteen years old I was pretty sure I'd never get laid.
Everyone would say; Football tryouts are today, but I don't wanna play,
‘cause they're all stupid anyway.
Oh Why can’t there be a Rock’em Sock’em Robot Team?
Really outta be a Rock’em Sock’em Robot Team.
Got my Rubik’s cube in my backpack.
Got it solved with the stickers intact.
I’m in a punk-rock band with my geek friends
and we're gonna rock at the dance this weekend.
Never gonna be an overachiever.
I’ve still got symptoms from Pac-Man fever.
Nowhere left to play, the arcades have all gone away.
Oh, what would Frankie say?
Relax we’ll find another way.
Oh Why can’t there be a Rock’em Sock’em Robot Team?
Really outta be a Rock’em Sock’em Robot Team.
A Rock’em Sock’em Robot team.
You sank my battleship.
A Rock’em Sock’em Robot team.
You sank my battleship.
A Rock’em Sock’em Robot team.
You sank my battleship.
A Rock’em Sock’em Robot team.

Well, there hasn’t been a day, I haven’t found myself thinking of you.
The feeling never really fades, lying by myself, dreaming of you.
Heard that you’ve were dancin’ with a new guy.
Heard that you were out with somebody new.
Heard that you’ve been dancing with a new guy.
Guess you heard that I’ve been dancin’ too.
Happy ever after means, memories start to fade.
That’s not true.
Gotta face the fact someday, the only truth I’d known,
I had with you.
Ooh.
So many times, you drift through my mind.
I remember the day that I first saw you.
So many times I’d go out of my mind,
Remembering the day that I last saw you.
Time slips away, think of you everyday
Never alone, never. Win or lose.
Roses are red and violets are blue.
Let's run away with our dancin’ shoes.
Heard that you’ve were dancin’ with a new guy.
Heard that you were out with somebody new.
Heard that you’ve been dancing with a new guy.
Guess you know that I’ve been dancin’ too.
Ooh.
Ooh.

Eleanor on the floor,
Don’t you know that you’re my Beagle?
Puppy feet, you’re so sweet.
Don't you know that you’re so regal?
I love you so..
..from your head down to your tippy toes
And nose.

Well it won’t take long, ’til we go back out.
Well it won’t take long, ’til we twist and we shout.
Well, there’s no words yet, but I won’t forget,
Cause I still need ‘em.
Gonna hold this space, put some words in place,
…and just repeat ‘em.
It won’t take long
It won’t take long
Well it won’t take long, ’til it comes to an end.
It won’t take long, ’til you’re back, with your friends.
Well, there’s no words yet, but I won’t forget,
Cause I still need ‘em.
Gonna hold this space, put some words in place,
…and just repeat ‘em.
It won’t take long.
It won’t take long.
Every little thing,
Every little thing,
Every little thing seems normel.
It won’t take long ’til the dogs get to play.
Again.
It won’t take long ’til we swing and we sway
Again.
Well, there’s no words yet, but I won’t forget,
Cause I still need ‘em.
Gonna hold this space, put some words in place,
…and just repeat ‘em.
It won’t take long.
It won’t take long.

If I could only be Superman,
I could be a hero allover the land
You could be my Supergirl.
We could fly allover the world.
Standing in a phone booth time ticks by.
I don’t wanna be without you.
Maybe I'll go fly up in the sky,
And tell all the world about you.
I just wanna be Superman,
I could be a hero allover the land
You could be my Supergirl.
We could fly allover the world.
We could go back to my cave of ice.
Thats where we can be together.
By the fire its so warm and nice,
That we won’t care about the weather.
I just wanna be Superman,
I could be a hero allover the land
You could be my Supergirl.
We could fly allover the world.
But when I get the call, I have to go
And leave you home at night alone.
My superpowers give me might the cape and tights,
The cape and tights.
The cape and tights.
The cape and tights.
The cape and tights.
The cape and tights.
The cape and tights.
The cape and tights.
The cape and tights.
Well, I’m already your Superman.
I feel like a hero who I’m holding your hand
And you’re already my Supergirl
We can fly allover the world.
Superman

If I had my knife,
I know how I’d start.
I’d cut it to pieces, ’til I got to the heart.
I’d marvel in wonder, at how small it must be.
The little black heart,
That did that to me.
Made me feel worthless.
The cause of such pain.
Where once there was sunshine,
Then only rain.
I’d marvel in wonder, at how small it must be.
The little black heart,
That did that to me.
Hey, is it cool if I pay you guys tomorrow?
I’d marvel in wonder, at how small it must be.
The little black heart,
That did that to me.
So soured with secrets,
So rotten from lies,
Dried up and lifeless,
My little prize.

Tumble down the stairwell.
Miss the steps and fall.
Might have landed softer,
if I’d cared at all.
Showing up for no one,
every single time.
Why do I sing all your words,
when you hear none of mine?
So Bittersweet.
So Bittersweet.
So Bittersweet.
Hammer down the highway,
Just to play one more.
A moment in the spotlight,
Wake up on the floor
Always play with fire.
Try to make a name.
Gain a reputation.
Sparks without a flame.
So Bittersweet.
So Bittersweet.
So Bittersweet.
La, la, la, la, la,
la, la, la, la, la.
La, la, la, la, la,
la, la, la, la, la.
Rifle through your notebooks,
stuck in your headspace.
Fire up the four-track,
Find some saving grace.
The ones that no one wanted.
The ones that you held dear,
brought into the daylight.
Maybe now they'll hear.
So Bittersweet.
So Bittersweet.
So Bittersweet.
So Bittersweet.
So Bittersweet.
So Bittersweet.
