There's a man at the backdoor Got a special feel Looking over his shoulder Another hollow deal Goin' to show you a mountain Goin' to offer you pearls Goin' to make you believe You can shake the world Soft words of wisdom, tender loving care Gold watch gains an hour, time to spare And they give you a title All the things you adore Funny how you're as hungry as before Like an 8-ball broken in two Another hero standing over you So they closed your number Didn't like your style Some off duty business in the private file When they showed you a mountain When they offered you pearls Did you really believe You could shake the world Like an 8-ball broken in two Another hero standing over you Would why' give if why' could Would why' fall where why' stood Would why' shatter, would it matter Would you lie down and die like you should Like an 8-ball broken in two Another hero standing over you
