When Heroes Go Down Suzanne Vega

[Verse 1]
When heroes go down
They go down fast
So don't expect any time to
Equivocate the past

[Verse 2]
When heroes go down
They land in flame
So don't expect any slow and careful
Settling of blame

[Bridge]
I heard you say
You look out for the feet of clay
That someone will be falling next
Without the chance for last respects
You feel the disappointment

[Verse 3]
When heroes go down
Man or woman revealed
You can't expect any kind of mercy
On the battlefield

[Bridge]
I heard you say
You look out for the feet of clay
That someone will be falling next
Without the chance for last respects
You feel the disappointment
