Hero Ground Zero

Pete Townshend

[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
