I used to walk along the alleyway
The year that Superman met Doomsday
She heard my songs and she read the words
Felt the edge and the emptiness inside

I was playing devils advocate
Seeing as were all surrogate
I was practicing my caught in the headlights look
The day we all sat in the pub
Split my year in two

You never wanted me there anyway
I tried so hard to be in your life
Your friendly every day social christ
You just slid off the edge of my life
Drifted away.

So all the papers in the morning
They all missed this subtle moment's spin
And the monsters hiding in the headlights
Below the supermarket din
