Gazing down from Skiddaw, 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 she savors back to 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 Klieg lamp 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 In my cave, 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, absurd and stoned 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
