Hero

i’m the son of a drowning man
my welfare wasn’t in his plan
right from birth i bought the role
trying to save a thrashing soul

now i’m plugged into you night and day
i get so little babe still i stay
hurting and hoping i don’t let go
desperate damsel with a fool hero

and i’m no martyr i do get paid
i feel so special that’s our trade
i’m the only one who could break the spell
truth is babe i haven’t done so well

that’s a fine story and maybe it’s true
all i really know is i still want you
a cup of words in a raging sea
stories cannot rescue me

and i’m no martyr i do get paid
i feel so special that’s our trade
i’m the only one who could break the spell
truth is babe i haven’t done so well

i took a walk by a rushing stream
we made love in my desert dream
then ever after we would duke it out
honey is that what love’s about?

and i’m no martyr i do get paid
i feel so special that’s our trade
i’m the only one who could break the spell
truth is babe i haven’t done so well

and i’m no martyr i do get paid
