Hero Ground Zero

Album: Who (2019)

  • 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
