Action Movie Hero Boy

(album: Dinosaurchestra - 2006)

I'm bad!

I gotta figure out where mommy keeps the dynamite
I'll get some measuring tape so I can time it right
I know it's dangerous, I know you're thinking I am a fool
But it's the only chance I'll ever get to look so cool. (Look so cool.)

Hey, look at me, casually
Walking away like Action Movie Hero Boy
In slow-mo, everything glowing and
Blowing to bits right behind me

You see it all the time in theatres on the silver screen
Like when the good guy blows the bad guy's house to smithereens
I've got a movie-making camera and a dozen grenades
I'm looking tough, I've got the stuff, I've got the spiffy shades. (Spiffy shades.)

Hey, look at me, casually
Walking away like Action Movie Hero Boy
In slow-mo, everything glowing and
Blowing to bits right behind me

I am aware it's just a movie. I'm aware it's a cliché
I am aware I'm being stupid. I'm aware of that, but hey
This is just something that I gotta do
Yeah. (Yeah.)

Hey, look at me, casually
Stumbling down like Action Movie Blooper Reels
In slow-mo, everything glowing and
Blowing to bits including me
