Lyrics

Midnight walks along the avenue
With a can of beer and a bottle of crazy glue
Half-man half-wolf howling to the streets
The battle hymn of a soldier obsolete

Heroes come, heroes go
We’re all made of animal
Aooo

Streetlamps keep on getting in the way
So he leans on one to lick an injury
Then he cleans his coat until it shines
While memories are sloshing in the brine

Visions come, visions go
Still that soul is pure as gold
Ohhh

Kneeling down he crouches by his heart
And gathers it up into a purple scarf
Oh what courage to listen close
To it’s echoes and your own feral truth

Heroes come, heroes go
We’re all made of animal
Visions come, visions go
Still that soul is pure as gold
Aooo
