Villains

You take off your clothes
Like ordinary people
Passions bottled up in silence
Writing on a wall
Learned to fall in love
Like ordinary people
When did you first realize
You are running out of time

Oh what a wonderful lie

What’s it like to live
Like ordinary people
Wandering through the barrio
Wasted beauty all around
Everything to excess
Like ordinary people
When will you first realize
We are running out of time

Oh what a wonderful lie
All your heroes
Look like villains To me
All your heroes

Maybe we were made this way by design
Your hips to move in time with mine
Love never felt as good
As when you were leaving

Waiting for clouds to chase away
Spinning rockets
Words that say
I’ll never forget your head
Upon my shoulder
All your heroes
Look like villains To me
