Foghat - Hero To Zero lyrics

Drinking champagne, eating caviar Drivin' around town in a big flashy car Got two hits both at number one Yeah, everybody says I'm a son of a gun Got a big mansion on the top of a hill Flying my jet gives me such a thrill Got me an island in a great big sea Yeah, I can see you but you can't see me But when the hits stop coming And the cash begins to dry up And you change your crystal For plastic and a paper cup From hero to zero The world looks good when you're at the top From hero to zero You feel so bad when you start to drop, yeah {instrumental} Sitting in your room doing nothin' at all Can't use the gold hangin' on the wall Thinking ‘bout times when you used to be Now the bubble's burst and it's plain to see How the mighty fall When they know they're on the way down You were hailed as a king now You know that you feel like a clown From hero to zero A king of the hill sitting on your throne From hero to zero You're sittin' in a room feeling all alone From hero to zero The world looks good when you're at the top From hero to zero You feel so bad when you start to drop From hero to zero - From hero to zero
