The Hero and the Heroin - Jason Rubero

The Hero and the Heroin Lyrics

So sad
They said that you were dead
Years before you closed your eyes
You had a gift for the age
Turned a deaf ear to swoon and sigh
Shooting your star with syringe
They said at the clinic you cringed
And cried "I know you're out there"
"I know you're out there"
"I know you're out there"
"I know you're out there"
It must've been
So grand to make it big
And do all those things you got to do
But you were old
And drawn out at thirty one

And dead at thirty two
Fanatics my honor your crypt
But I think you squandered your gift
And hoarded gold in your soul lift
So it could not rise...
"I know you're out there"
"I know you're out there"
"I know you're out there"
"I know you're out there"
