Silently everyone watched the sky
Wondering if their waiting eyes would find some sort of light
Typically in troubled times like these
The hero's light would never miss a beat and never miss a fight
The savior on whom people used to depend
Now at the very real end was nowhere in sight
The sky above seem to stay blacker than hell
But the people stared all the while bathed in fright
For once they were on their own
Their best chance of survival let them down
They sent a desperate call out to all the other heroes around
What about Hydrophobic Man?
He could drive the water from the ground
What about Soft Man?
Last seen in the arms of Laser Girl
What about Spice Man?
He could keep these demons from out heels
What about Christ Man?
Might be time he died for something real
What about Soup Loving Man?
Where is Lava Man?
Paranoid Man's door is always latched
Marionette Man's got strings attached
Where is Carpentress Woman and the Duck-Billed Five?
Are the Bee-Stung-Lipped Seven in their Secret Hive?
Surely Jet Pack Lady must know of our plight
Why can't the Flying Sharkmen use their gift of flight?
Is Built-In Flashlight Boy still in the dark?
Is Seldom-Awake Boy still have narcolepsy?
Are we crazy to expect a savior?
The power of my neighbor pales against a hero
I fear my safety now if I can't find Soup Loving Man
