I Can't Be Your Hero Today

It's never been the same since you returned  from dreaming

With your nursery rhyme excuses and your picture postcards gleaming

Telling everyone who looks your way about people and their sinning

While your left field verse is falling in proportion to your winning

And I can't be your hero today

I'm through with the simple games you play

It just might take awhile to even up the score

But I can't be your soldier home from war

You fill my head with figures, proving that there's still hope for us

And nature holds the handcuffs on a Capricorn and Taurus

There's nothing you can do or say to get me to your camp

Go buy yourself a savings book and get yourself a lamp

And I can't be your hero today

That is all I really wanna say

You can cover me with lilacs and bathe my feet in wine

But I can't be your Tarzan on a vine

As our conversation leads us to the final trap door question

I find myself responding to the power of suggestion

And certain other stimuli that help me to reveal

While I tell you to your face how I really feel

You're not real Lady Jane

And I can't be your hero today

Your wholesale price is much to high to pay

A bargain counter atmosphere is no way to sell love

And I can't be your blessing from above

No, I can't be your hero today

That is all I really wanna say

Go find a leading man who wants to play

But I can't be your hero today
