FIRST TAKES

Out like a Hero

i'm going out like a hero, i aint going out on the piss
i've got something inside that can't be denied i may take a chance and miss
but if it comes together and my life for ever is imbued with a certain bliss
then the freedom i find within my own mind will feel like a morning kiss

and i'll go out like a hero

now robert de niro is no local hero they've probably heard of him on mars
and the way of bruce lee has inspired me to karate-quit columbian cigars
while jimmy page proved all the rage when it came to playing guitars
but number one didn't get the job done just by hanging out in bars

going out like a hero
going out going out going out - out like a hero

cassius clay had so much to say he even thought to change his name
to muhammed ali who stung like a bee a butterfly all the same
jesus christ put up no fight when they were looking for someone to blame
while the thin white duke felt the rebuke from white lines of fashion and fame

going out like a hero
going out going out going out - out like a hero
