Sometime after sunset
|
He is on his hands and knees
|
He is searching for his keys
|
At a small Vietnamese place
|
On East 11th Street
|
|
His daughters both at once say
|
Can we just get going please?
|
As his wife begins to sneeze
|
And his son is throwing peas
|
And eating with his feet
|
|
He's an action hero
|
And he should be fighting crime
|
Leaping between the buildings
|
And racing against time
|
He's an action hero
|
He's an action hero
|
In his mind
|
|
He drops by Mount Sinai
|
Where they're running through some tests
|
And they've taped things to his chest
|
And they're all doing their best
|
To make him feel at ease
|
|
The doctor says it's really just
|
An educated guess
|
I suggest you get some rest
|
Try to cut back on the stress
|
Cause I don't like what I see
|
|
But the action hero
|
Swears he feels just fine
|
He's got to finish saving
|
The world for all mankind
|
He's an action hero
|
He's an action hero
|
And he's racing against time
|
|
He's racing against time
|
There goes the action hero
|
|
He's racing against time
|
|
