A celebratory ode to our favorite Woman (significant others and mothers excluded) channeling all our early 1980s pop rock influences including ELO, XTC, 10cc, Journey, Queen, Def Leppard and David Foster to name a few.
lyrics
Amazon born of clay
Come beam your healing ray
I am drowning in Ruthlessness
I trust if I just believe
You could do like you did Steve
And you'd save my life in spite of me
No one’s a wonder woman
Except maybe Wonder Woman
There is no other woman
Swifter than Mercury
Shrouded in mystery,
Spandex and compassion
Come save me Wonder Woman
I was truly blind
When I crossed your mission
With your Lasso of Truth
And Bracelets of Submission
Behind the weapons you felt my pain
There is no evil heart you could not change
On Transformation Island
No one’s a wonder woman
Except totally Wonder Woman
There is no other woman
Swifter than Mercury
Shrouded in mystery,
Spandex and compassion
You put up with the stuff
Only a mother could love
Always there lifting us up
And we keep on falling, falling, falling for you
I'm no longer blind
And I got a brand new mind
Woman I've come so far
Since I poisoned the reservoir
I may never breathe in outer space
Then again it's not my place
Invisible, colorful
You are so wonderful
No one’s a wonder woman
Except maybe Wonder Woman
There is no other woman
Swifter than Mercury
Shrouded in mystery,
Spandex and compassion
Come save me
Come save me!
You’re my Wonder Woman
There is no other woman
(There is no other woman lifting us up!)
Swifter than Mercury
Shrouded in mystery,
Spandex and compassion
Come save me
Come save me
Come save me Wonder Woman!
