Caroline's Spine Lyrics

5. 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 
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
