I met you once backstage
At a very tender age
You took me under your wing
And I remember
Those seas of screaming hands
Were at your own command
So hypnotised when you sing

And there seemed to be a price to pay
Getting bigger every day

And you were larger than life
You were graded up to 'hero'
Larger than life
And it must be hard to keep living
The things that you say
When they're making you larger than life

I'm learning what it means
To be somebody's dream
When I'm looking for the dream myself
But that's not really me
They're twisting what they see
Its only one hero to Hell

And there seems to be a price to pay
Getting higher every day

Larger than life
We're graded up to 'hero'
Larger than life
And you know it's hard to keep living
The things that we say
When they're making us larger
Larger than life

And the higher you're above it all
The easier it is to fall

Larger than life
Larger than life
