about

I kept it secret — no-one ever suspected
my alter-ego
even those who saw in my closet
they never got it
they don't know
because it don't show

I'M A SUPERHERO — I AM NOT JUST WEIRDO
I'M THE INCOGNITO SUPERHERO

so i live at home with my superdad and my supermum
it's a super way to avoid suspicion
and it’s one lonely night after another
but at least it keeps my cover from being blown
no-one can know

I'M A SUPERHERO — I'M NOT SUCH A WEIRDO
I'M THE INCOGNITO SUPERHERO
I’m a Superhero — at least me Mam says I am
she tucks in me in at night
and calls me her Little Superman

my grandma said i'm the bastard son of someone famous
but wouldn't tell me who because it won't save us
but maybe that is why i like to run around outside
with my undies on the outside
undies on the outside

it's a plot a tell you — that's why my bus is always late
why my network's down
and how something went and stole all me mates
and i'm looking so tragic, howling in the traffic
now i sussed i must be from some other planet

I'M A SUPERHERO — I’M NOT A WEIRDO
I'M A INCOGNITO SUPERHERO
I’M A SUPERHERO, NOT JUST A ZERO
NOWHERE MAN — INCOGNITO SUPERHERO
