I Can’t Be Your Hero Today

It's never been the same since you returned from dreamin'
 With your nursery rhyme excuses your picture postcards gleamin'
 Tellin' everyone who looks your way 'bout people and their sinnin'
 While you left field verse is fallin' in proportion to your winnin'
 And I can't be your hero today
 I'm through with the simple games you play
 It just may take some time for me to even up the score
 But I can't be your soldier home from war
 You fill my head with figures proving that there's still hope for us
 While nature holds the handcuffs on a Capricorn and Taurus
 There's nothing you can do or say to get me to your camp
 Go buy yourself a savings books and get yourself a lamp
 And I can't be your hero today
 That is all I really wanna say
 You can cover me in Lilacs and bathe my feet in wine
 But I can't be your Tarzan on a line
 As our conversation leads us, to the final trapdoor question
 I find myself responding to the power suggestion
 and certain other stimuli that help me to reveal
 What I tell you to your face,
 How I really feel, you're not real Lady Jane
 And I can't be your hero today
 Your wholesale price is much to high to pay
 A bargain counter atmosphere is no way to sell love
 And I can't be your blessing from above
 No I can't be your hero today
 That is all I really want to say
 Go find a leading man who wants to play
 But I can't be your hero today
