Hero Ground Zero Songtext

von The Who

Gazing down from Skidor I can see the future
Music, art, and science are gonna bust
Oh prepare to meet her in this labyrinth
This ancient archive full of dust

I'm a hero, ground zero
If I don't take off I'll surely drown
I'm a hero, ground zero
In the end every leader becomes a clown

Every rock star wants to make a movie
But the darkness should save her, then the light
I won't go back to walkdown music
From this old hilltop, I'll take flight

I am a hero, ground zero
In my face, a clean cut burns my eyes
I'm a hero, ground zero
On my back is the heat of a new sunrise

You look so good like spring
I didn't know that looks could kill
From up here I could hear you sing
How many rooms can one note fill?

You raised me up and then you dropped me
I drank and sank, got set in stone
I was adopted by the angels
They said my future was postponed

I was a hero, ground zero
I believe my stock has been thrown
I was a hero, ground zero
I've had the shock of being dethroned
Of being disowned
