Carolines Spine

Carolines Spine - Rock & Roll Hero lyrics

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

rock and roll hero...

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 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
