Paroles de Rock & Roll Hero

And by the light of the desk lamp
i sat alone with my paper and crayons
trying to draw the things i saw in my head
and by the sound of the crickets
through windows of darkness
i tried to fit the moon in my mouth
in my mouth...

sometimes when i'm alone
and out of view of my own
i pretend i'm someone else
taking a look at myself
and i wonder what i'll think then
and i hope i'll be ok
and i finally reach the day

when everybody sings my song
when everybody sings my song
when i show you my soul

by the skin of my teeth
i got a break around seventeen
and suddenly everyones acting so differently to me
and by the bus i call my home
i've seen more miles then i'll ever know
trying to be some kind of rock and roll hero i pretend i'm someone else
taking a look at myself
and i know i'm still thinking
and i know i feel ok
now that i've reached the day

and everybody's singing my song
and everybody's singing my song
and i show you my soul

and by the clock i live
thought i had so much more to give
it all came to an end somehow
but i made it the best i can
even became a family man
with nothing but gold records on my wall
on my wall
they're on my wall...

sometimes when i'm alone
and out of view of my own
i pretend i'm someone else
take a look back at myself
and i wonder what i was thinking
and i although it turned out
i will always miss the day

when everybody sang my song
when everybody sang my song
when i showed you my soul
