"Something Like A Hero"


Hello boys
Got directions to the bombshell factory?
And a bowflexing nightmare tendency?
Hesitate, where's the tape my retired beauty queen?

Hello girls
Truth can make you stare into the mirror for hours.
And could lipgloss save a nation mr.powers?
Come into what's my own disappear zone-close my ears

Close my eyes
In the world of a stupid girl and in her stupid dress size...
So who are we? who's the judge, and are you something like a hero?

No mistakes..
Different versions of the girl right next to you..
And I'm knocking on your door and can't get through.
And I cry and I sigh and I try to
Close my ears

Close my eyes
In the world of a stupid girl and in her pettiest of lies...
So who are we? who's the judge and are you
Something like a hero?

Dull sensations, push them to the walls
And the thorns that fall, have the guts to walk upon them all

Halfway there
I was waiting by the phone for you to care
And I can't make a seed grow anywhere-
So I wait, so I wait, are you out there?
Close my eyes

I close my ears
In the world of a stupid girl and in her shallowest of fears...
So who are we? who's the judge and are you something like a hero?
Are you something like a hero?

(album version has "chant and scramble" here)
And I'm all for it and I don't know, and not for sure if I'm face down frowned
on the ground or if the devil's gonna get me if I make make make make myself
into a wave out there and I'm never gonna ache like this again and I'm never
gonna 'scape from here.

So I swim and you keep me keep me and I'm turning half blue true and I'm on on
on, out out out out of last words, last words? and I'm half baked and I side
stroke- side go- slide go. Pain pain pain no pain. Pain pain pain no pain. Choke
choke choke lift me out, sift me out- keep me Lord keep me Lord so I won't go
down down down keep me in the rhythm as I float out of my misery oh and I'm far
too gone, and I'm far too gone oh and I'm far too hey. I'm far too gone oh I'm
far too gone for you to go there. And I'm far too gone for you to go there honey
