Too late the hero
|
It all comes to zero
|
And I, I wish I could stop
|
And start it again.
|
|
It's the end of my movie
|
The bad guys beat me easy
|
And I, I wish I could stop
|
And start it again.
|
|
It's easy to live in your imagination
|
If you can't control the situation
|
You just cut and start it again
|
It's easy to live in your imagination
|
You have to make an alteration
|
You just cut and start it again.
|
|
How I wish I could live on the silver screen
|
Like the stars in the movie magazines
|
With a happy ending as the final scene.
|
|
Too late the hero
|
It all comes to zero
|
And I, I wish I could stop
|
And start it again.
|
|
It's the end of my movie
|
The bad guys beat me easy
|
And I, I wish I could stop
|
And start it again.
|
|
It's easy, the villains always wear black
|
They see your guns and turn back
|
It only happens in the movies
|
It's easy, the heroes always wear white
|
The ladies fall off the sight
|
It only happens in the movies.
|
|
As the Viking ship drifts off to the sea
|
The black sail bursts into fire
|
I turn to kiss the princess
|
I have to pacify her
|
The arrows fall
|
The sky is red
|
The music gets higher and higher.
|
|
The battle's done
|
I'm on my way home
|
A hero's welcome on the shore
|
Single handed, all by myself
|
I've just won the war
|
It was nothing, really.
