Comic Book Superstar

If it makes you feel better Consummate Hero You make the world so vivid As you spread the night. If the world can play to the second You could be President. In touch with reality, not at all Sky Kommandant, wilted in the shade. We stood in puddles bloated By your heavy glory. You've built your golden horse Tyburn high and decadent. Scarlet Warrior, beware You may go forth to break your neck. The world of tomorrow! We revert to type when you leave Though you say you never will Trial by savages, you smile and say "I am Aurora personified Your one hero, a superstar Your Jesus Christ in real life" It is not impractical thinking To fully justify myself By your fantastic failings. Your Ground Zero rhetoric To your Puppet Show Empire. You could be President.
