Heroes & Villains

(album: Slide Away The Screen - 1979)

In the book of life there are heroes and villains
And false trails fooling you
It's a comedy, it's a tragedy
Where lies get mixed with the truth

As you live the story you can be excused
Thinking you know it all
You're on the right road you take a wrong turn
You find yourself down some dark alley up against the wall

A chapter closes but it ain't over
Until the story ends
A chapter closes, another chapter begins

In the book of life there are heroes and villains
Mysterious turns of the wheel
Fortune and chance that's the name of romance
Sometimes sweet love you got to steal

So just live the story, don't be made a fool
Thinking you know how it will end
A hero turns out to be a villain sometimes
And a villain becomes your friend

A chapter closes but it ain't over
Until the story ends
A chapter closes, another chapter begins

Heroes and villains and false trails
Running away and losing you on the bend
Heroes and villains and heartache
Like the time when your girl ran off with your best friend

So just live the story, don't be made a fool
Thinking you know how it will end
A hero turns out to be a villain sometimes
And a villain becomes your best friend

Heroes and villains and false trails
Running away and losing you on the bend
Heroes and villains and false trails
Running away and losing you on the bend

Heroes and villains
Heroes and villains
Heroes and villains
