"i want to be your hero"

says the guy to the camera

moving stage right

his eyes are the only things alive

and i know who he looks like



so cheers to the ocean

tuesday's always pouring





i heard you're hurt

your heart is under my shirt

we haven't been born yet

two silhouettes

and don't forget cigarettes





a ceiling of sound

is snowing down on

us on the ground

the carols of yesterday

are sharing the chair

taking turns curling up

with what's there





goodbye company

goodbye family

hello halos

for martyrs 

like you and me





"i want to be your hero"

says me to the mirror

i hide stare at the ceiling

and smile 

i'm glad you're on my side





cheers to the ocean

tuesday's always pouring





a celing of crowns

hangs over the crowd

and brings down the clowns

carry the clouds

that mark off these towns





cheers to the ocean

tuesday's always pouring

the angels share
