ED’S SECRET IDENTITY                          © 2002 Acoustic Ross

I’ve never carried survivors out of a burning high-rise
Haven’t found a cure for the common cold
Never done a thing in my life that’ll look good on my tombstone
Guess that’ll have to wait till I get old

    I’ve never caught a bullet between my teeth
    Never closed a case, or collared a thief
    I’ve never stopped a runaway train in its tracks 
    or even planted a tree
    I won’t feed the world, I won’t save the day
    I won’t change your life, but that’s okay
    Sometimes I think my secret power is just getting through the day

Make some toast and coffee, quick shave and a shower
Feed the cats and I’m on my way
Don’t wear a watch anymore, but I think today is Thursday
Hard to tell, they’re all pretty much the same

    I’ve never caught a bullet between my teeth
    Never closed a case, or collared a thief
    I’ve never stopped a runaway train in its tracks 
    or even planted a tree
    I won’t feed the world, I won’t save the day
    I won’t change your life, but that’s okay
    Sometimes I think my secret power is just getting through the day

Fast food, put some music on, there’s nothing good on TV
I’d call but I don’t really think I should
I think I’ve seen this movie one too many times
At least the soundtrack’s pretty good...

Things haven’t changed that much since you were hear beside me
I still have these flashes every day
But if I know anything, I know I can get through this
I’m not all right, but I’m okay

    I’ve never caught a bullet between my teeth
    Never closed a case, or collared a thief
    I’ve never stopped a runaway train in its tracks 
    or even planted a tree
    I won’t feed the world, I won’t save the day
    I won’t change your life, but that’s okay
    Sometimes I think my secret power is just getting through the day
