Fountains of Wayne - Action Hero lyrics
[Fountains of Wayne - Action Hero lyrics]
Sometime after sunset he is on
His hands and knees
He is searching for his keys
At a small Vietnamese
Place on East 11th Street
His daughters both at once say
Can we just get going please?
As his wife begins to sneeze
And his son is throwing peas
And eating with his feet
He's an action hero
And he should be fighting crime
Leaping between the buildings
And racing against time he's an action hero
He's an action hero in his mind
In his mind
Oh-h-h-h-ho hero oh-h-h-h-ho hero
He drops by Mount Sinai where
They're running through some tests
And they've taped things to his chest
And they're all doing their best
To make him feel at ease
The doctor says it's really
Just an educated guess
I suggest you get some rest
Try to cut back on the stress
Cause I don't like what I see
But the action hero
Swears he feels just fine
He's got to finish saving
The world for all mankind
He's an action hero he's an action hero
And he's racing against time
He's racing against time
There goes the action hero
Oh-h-h-h-ho hero oh-h-h-h-ho hero
He's racing against time
His hands and knees
He is searching for his keys
At a small Vietnamese
Place on East 11th Street
His daughters both at once say
Can we just get going please?
As his wife begins to sneeze
And his son is throwing peas
And eating with his feet
He's an action hero
And he should be fighting crime
Leaping between the buildings
And racing against time he's an action hero
He's an action hero in his mind
In his mind
Oh-h-h-h-ho hero oh-h-h-h-ho hero
He drops by Mount Sinai where
They're running through some tests
And they've taped things to his chest
And they're all doing their best
To make him feel at ease
The doctor says it's really
Just an educated guess
I suggest you get some rest
Try to cut back on the stress
Cause I don't like what I see
But the action hero
Swears he feels just fine
He's got to finish saving
The world for all mankind
He's an action hero he's an action hero
And he's racing against time
He's racing against time
There goes the action hero
Oh-h-h-h-ho hero oh-h-h-h-ho hero
He's racing against time
