Dead in the sun
And covered with glue
There is a town where nothing moves
Nobody works
And nobody plays
And all of their dreams
Have melted away
All of their hopes have come and gone
Even the vultures have moved on
They say a hero's coming soon
With ivory lungs like huge balloons
There ain't no moon
And there ain't no stars
Over the land of endless scars
Covered in brown
And coming undone
We are what he will not become
Only a run down rusty still
Runs through the town that has no hill
But they say a hero's coming soon
He's coming to take a giant breath of air
Into his lungs ang blow away the sun
(Chorus)
I saw a vulture swarming up above a dying crowd
Above the villains and the heroes and the down and out
To snage the carrion and leeches up to snatch their claim
Before the darkness has a chance to wash it all away
Cause' if the evening ever comes maybe then something's right
Cause' in the dark even the blind can see a speck of light
I'm waitin' for a sign to show but it don't ever come
I'm waitin' for the dark to fall and wash away the sun
There ain't no heat
And there ain't no lies
Only the black hole of our eyes
Cuttin' it over crowded room
Waiting for it's sad turn to lose
But out in the distance there's a glow
That nobody sees, so nobody knows
Well they say a hero's coming soon
He's coming to take a giant breath of air
Into his lungs and blow away the sun
(Chorus)
