I'm your hero? Lyrics

For you

I'm gonna keep my mind on you

I'm gonna set my time to you

Oh baby, they ain't got nothing I don't

Out a train window

I can see that I'm wasting my time

To go on following you

And the sun comes up over you

And the poets undress for you

All the cars move by for you

Watch them all catch fire for you

Oh babe, can you see the parade go by?

While I pray to the night

That the flowers all bloom for you

All the dead in their tombs for you

And the sirens and flesh for you

I'm a ship in the night for you

Oh babe, they got no idea

She said:

"I'm you hero?"

For you

I'm all alone for you

Sing a lonely song for you

Oh babe, I can see that you ain't from 'round here

But I trade my soul

For some shake-shake, rattle and hum

A beg-borrowing-son

I won't split when I run

Oh, what's a poor boy to do?

I got a little rock n roll here for you

And the coffins parade for you

And the Draculas kiss for you

And the cameras all flash for you

Oh babe, you can see that I don't even try

She said:

"I'm your hero?"

All for you

And the whole world cracks for you

All for you

And they poison the bats for you

All for you

And they name a new saint for you

All for you

And the phonies step over you

I'm on the road to you

And they've buried the maps to you

Swoop, swoop

Rock, rock
