When Heroes Go Down - Lyrics by Suzanne Vega


Lyrics
When heroes go down

They go down fast

So don't expect any time to

Equivocate the past


When heroes go down

They land in flame

So don't expect any slow and careful

Settling of blame

I heard you say

You look out for the feet of clay

That someone will be falling next

Without the chance
For last respects

You feel the disappointment


When heroes go down
Man or woman revealed

You can't expect any kind of mercy

On the battlefield

I heard you say

You look out for the feet of clay

That someone will be falling next

Without the chance for last respects

You feel the disappointment


When heroes go down

Man or woman revealed

Do you show any kind of mercy

On the battlefield?


When heroes go down [X3]
