Ted Leo & The Pharmacists - Even Heroes Have To Die текст песни

Well, didn't you look sharp with your boots

When you met me on the path? Oh

From two tone to Downtown Beirut

But only halfway back, oh



Stealing bits of wisdom from the shelf

Turned prisons into prisms on the self

Oh, oh



And what do they know

About the springtime of me and you, ooh

Born in the midst of

The long hot summer we lived through, ooh



Did they see you run for every rhyme?

Did we run for running out of time?

Oh, oh



When even heroes have to die

No one lives forever, love

No one's wise to try



Oh, oh, oh, oh

Oh, oh, oh, oh


Oh



And adding our own wisdom to the shelf

Stealing bits of paper, we had health

Oh, oh



But working away

Did we miss the passing of the time? Oh

In your own flame you can wither

Through your passions still outshine, oh



Did you read the writing on the wall

Prophesying a doom upon us all

Oh, oh



That even heroes have to die

No one lives forever, love

No one's wise to try



Oh, oh, oh, oh

Oh, oh, oh, oh

Oh, oh, oh, oh

Oh, oh, oh, oh



But hidden in the writing on the wall

Many are the beauties of the fall
