My Very Own Hero

Lyrics

Your very own hero Left here today Folks on the street say They saw him carried away Some say they caught him lying Some say they laid him to rest But not one of them was crying Not a tear touched his head I heard them say... "Run him out of town Don't leave a single trace behind They always think they'll live forever And all their promises, they break on a dime Go on now, drive him to the desert Tie his hands behind his head Blow a kiss with your rеvolver now You're bettеr off with him dead" He left here today your very own hero All the young heroes Our very own heroes They seem to drop off like flies You can see it on the evening news Save the tears from your eyes And watch familiar sad faces As they disappear from view For every hero that's dead and gone They'll find another for you Lord, it's true I heard them say… "Keep them on the run Don't leave a single one behind And hide away our precious children 'Cause they're the ones Who'll believe them every time Go on now, chase them to the river Bend their knees and bow their heads And what you do then, do quickly now Make sure you turn that river red," They've left here today our very own heroes Oh, the young heroes Oh, my little hero Where did you go last night? Oh, my sweet young hero You're no one else's but mine Oh, and for someone who can see through me Well, you can be so blind And all you heroes who try to leave You'll never get out alive You'll never get out alive, baby You'll never get out here alive, baby Pack it up, no, ooh... Somebody said… "Drive him to the ground Don't leave a trace of him behind" They always think they'll live forever But all their promises they break every time I found Him waiting in the garden With His hands held high above I heard him whisper as I kissed Him "You always hurt the one you love" You left today my very own hero All the young heroes My very own hero All the young heroes You'll never get out here alive, baby You'll never get out here alive, baby No, you won't, oh, no!
