about

This is a song about an intergalactic superhero, the hubris of man, and kitty cats.

lyrics

Me and my best pal Whiskers
Were watching CNN
A dictator killed a million people or something
And I said wouldn't it be great
To have a guy like Superman
To take care of evil like it was nothing

He wouldn't have to be from here
In fact, he probably couldn't
'Cause no one on Earth has awesome powers
Whiskers looked at me like I was nuts
And rolled on to his back
Like he'd been doing for sixteen hours

I said you don't get it, never mind
How cool would it be to have some kind of
Intergalactic superhero
Intergalactic superhero

Well, no sooner had I said those words
From outside came a crash crash crash
It sounded like some kind of riot
And then a man with phosphorescent skin
Struck a pose inside my living room
I had to check that I wasn't high yet

How you doin'? How you been? My name
Is not important
That's what he said when he burst in through my wall
I come from a planet long since past
Destroyed in an exploding sun
And I was cruising through your orbit when I heard your call

I'll handle the murder and oppression, too
Now aren't you glad you've got a friend who's an
Intergalactic superhero
Intergalactic superhero

Oh, intergalactic man, save me from this life
I know you can
So after you fix my wall, we can get started
I'm looking forward to the badass things you'll do

The superhero looked at me and said
You've never really known what freedom is
I gotta say I wasn't sure what he meant by that
For all your life, you've been beaten down
But now I'm here, I'll set you free, you can run around
That's when I realized he was talking to my cat

For crimes against felinity, the human race is doomed
Never fear, citizens, you all shall be consumed by the
Intergalactic superhero
Intergalactic superhero
