lyrics

The crowd is full of fervor like they feel like they've been cheated
Is it possible the building will collapse?
A local superhero is regarded as their leader
And she hushes all the "maybe" and "perhaps"
A bold vermillion through the sky
A cloud of cinnamon floats by
Assembling the town below
A shining chance to watch her glow

Jesus and Maryann, no, Maryann and Joseph
She's barreling through the wall
As pie charts and diagrams litter the airwaves
They wonder if she will fall

She sits at home relaxing and her name is in the papers
When she overhears a herd of police cars
A gang of roving jewel thieves on another of their capers
And the law needs help to put them behind bars
She soars around them with her cape
A shadow overhead will drape
The people gather 'round and cheer
"What would we do without you here?"

Jesus and Maryann, no, Maryann and Joseph
She's managed to catch them all
The anchormen speculate with solid statistics
And wonder when she will fall

And then the town grew silent for the forthright allegory
When she calmed them all regarding the attack
As she prepared for takeoff, taken in a blaze of glory
When a jilted watchman shot her in the back
A war of sorts would now desist
How could it ever come to this?
A martyr to her craft of love
The people sang a chorus of

Jesus and Maryann, no, Maryann and Joseph
There's nobody left to call
She still hovers over them, a guardian angel
And knows that she cannot fall
