The Who — Hero Ground Zero

[Verse 1] 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 [Chorus] 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 [Verse 2] Every rock star wants to make a movie But the darkness is safer than the light I won't go back to walkdown music From this old hilltop, I'll take flight [Chorus] 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 [Bridge] 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? [Verse 3] 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 [Chorus] I was a hero, ground zero I believe my stock has been atoned I was a hero, ground zero I felt the shock of being dethroned Of being disowned
