I'll be back tomorrow
I'll be back in the ballroom swingin'
I'll be back with my Superman action
And I’m off to save the world
silly me I left a message with no return number
for my boys in blue in case of an emergency
in case the shit goes down yea

I'll be back tomorrow
I'll be back in the ballroom swingin'
I'll be back with my Superman action
And I’m off to save the world

I'll be back tomorrow
I'll be back in the ballroom swingin'
I'll be back with a capital H
It stands for hero, and the hero is me

I'll be back tomorrow
I'll be back at a quarter to 11
I'm half drunk and I can’t see straight
A hero zero with a capital Z (that's me)
Singing songs from the balcony as the city crumbles
Under the powers of an evil doctor rocket science monster with capabilities to destroy the entire universe, yo

I'll be back tomorrow
I'll be back in the ballroom swingin'
I'll be back with my Superman action
And I’m off to save the world

I'll be back tomorrow
I'll be back in the ballroom swingin'
I'll be back with a capital H
It stands for hero, and the hero is me

Yeahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
Yeahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

I'll be back tomorrow
I'll be back in the ballroom swingin'
I'll be back with my Superman action
And I'm off to save the world

I'll be back tomorrow
I'll be back in the ballroom swingin'
I'll be back with a capital H
It stands for hero, and the hero is me

To be lost in a state of confusion
no sense of direction you can't be found
far from the truth of the slim and shady youth
but it's all the same, yeah it's all the same to me

That's what you say when you're falling down
That's what you say when you throw down with me
That's what you say when you're falling down
That's what you get when you throw down with me

With open arms you embrace abbrassive action
you welcome verbal violence your thoughts unsound
you wear the message on your face I'll wipe it off without a trace
'cause I'm all the rage, yeah I'm all the rage again

That's what you say when you're falling down
That's what you say when you throw down with me
That's what you say when you're falling down
That's what you get when you throw down with me

If you could see that it's all the same to me
I can't believe you can mean those things you say
but the harder I keep running
the harder I keep running
the more you waste my time

Don't look now but your friends are not around
to protect the words they gave you to be just like them
you say the words fuck you and yeah I've got a message to
hey we're all the same, in a way we're all the same as you

That's what you say when you're falling down
That's what you say when you're throwing down with me
That's what you say when you're falling down
That's what you get when you throw down with me

If you could see that it's all the same to me
I can't believe you can mean those things you say
I can't believe the things you say [x3]
but the harder I keep running
the harder I keep running
the more you waste my time

If we can't get along we'll have to find a middleground
if we can agree that we disagree about the same things we believe to be true
from me to you nothing but messages and paper planes
members only and memories end in the end the end

If you could see that it's all the same to me
I can't believe you can mean those things you say
but the harder I keep running
the harder I keep running
the more you waste my time

To be lost in a state of confusion
no sense of direction you can't be found
far from the truth of the slim and shady youth
but it's all the same it's all the same to me

That's what you say when you're falling down
That's what you say when you throw down with me
That's what you say when you're falling down
That's what you get when you throw down with me

it was an isolated incident
back in 1984
on a plane headed south to west texas
i held my wings next to the frozen window

then a lady sat down right beside me
with big black glasses and long brown hair
she told me she was from west virginia
she bought me a soda and held my hand

and we turned on the radio
and we were laughing out loud
and that’s exactly who we are
it’s who we are
miss west virginia please tell me texas is not that far

miss virginia was a teacher of science
she said i looked nervous so i explained
it’s the shuttle i saw on the tv
she told me that shuttles and planes aren’t the same

opening night player
myrtle gordon #1
she avoids her mirror
to be young again

very actor cycle
very not so clean
myrtle wears her broken mirror
on her aging sleeve

can not
stop now
harmony
whispers
in sleep
all the way

myrtle’s in the back room wondering why
it’s hard to believe she can never set her free screaming why


. . .



when i was younger i fell in love with the girl next door
back to the beat yo back to the beat of 1984
we had beat street we had breakin’ 1 and 2 electric boogaloo dude it was cool
we’d bust out the cardboard in the backstreet by the drugstore just me and you
afterschool

you said i did the worm better than anyone that you knew
breakin’ with you was the best time of my life
i wanna breakdance yeah i wanna get down with you

let go of everything
let your body tell the people that you know
you've got soul
yeah you've got soul
