Lyrics
[Intro] [mystery]
Where have all the good men gone
And where are all the gods?
Where's the streetwise Hercules
To fight the rising odds?
Isn't there a white knight upon a fiery steed?
Late at night, I toss and I turn
And I dream of what I need
[Pre-chorus]
I need a hero
I'm holding out for a hero 'til the end of the night
He's gotta be strong, and he's gotta be fast
[Chorus]
And he's gotta be fresh from the fight
I need a hero
I'm holding out for a hero 'til the morning light
He's gotta be sure, and it's gotta be soon
And he's gotta be larger than life
Larger than life
[Verse 1]
Somewhere after midnight
In my wildest fantasy
Somewhere, just beyond my reach
There's someone reaching back for me
[Bridge]
Racing on the thunder
And rising with the heat
It's gonna take a Superman to sweep me off my feet, yeah
[Drop]
[Pre-chorus]
I need a hero
I'm holding out for a hero 'til the end of the night
He's gotta be strong, and he's gotta be fast
[Chorus]
And he's gotta be fresh from the fight
I need a hero
I'm holding out for a hero 'til the morning light
He's gotta be sure, and it's gotta be soon
And he's gotta be larger than life
[Primal Scream]
I need a hero
I'm holding out for a hero 'til the end of the night
[Verse 2]
Up where the mountains meet the heavens above
Out where the lightning splits the sea
I could swear there is someone
[Bridge]
Somewhere, watching me
Through the wind and the chill and the rain
And the storm and the flood
I can feel his approach like a fire in my blood
[Drop]
*(Like a fire in my blood, like a fire in my blood)
*(Like a fire in my blood, like a fire in my blood, blood)
[Chorus]
I need a hero
I'm holding out for a hero 'til the end of the night
He's gotta be strong, and he's gotta be fast
And he's gotta be fresh from the fight
I need a hero
I'm holding out for a hero 'til the morning light
He's gotta be sure, and it's gotta be soon
And he's gotta be larger than life
I need a hero....I need a hero
[Primal Scream]
I need a hero
[End]
