Frou Frou - Holding Out For A Hero

Where have all the good men gone?
And where are all the gods?
Where's the street-wise Hercules?
To fight the rising odds?
Isn't there a white knight?
Upon a fiery steed?
Late at night I toss and turn,
And dream of what I need.

I need a hero, I'm holding out for a hero 'til the end of the night,
He's gotta be strong, and he's gotta be fast,
And he's gotta be fresh from the fight,
I need a hero, I'm holding out for a hero 'til the morning light,
He's gotta be sure, and it's gotta be soon,
And he's gotta be larger than life.

Somewhere after midnight,
In my wildest fantasy,
Somewhere just beyond my reach,
There's someone reaching back for me,
Racing on the thunder, rising with the heat,
It's gonna take a superman,
To sweep me off my feet.

I need a hero, I'm holding out for a hero 'til the end of the night,
He's gotta be strong, and he's gotta be fast,
And he's gotta be fresh from the fight,
I need a hero, I'm holding out for a hero 'til the morning light,
He's gotta be sure, and it's gotta be soon,
And he's gotta be larger than life. (larger than life)

Up where the mountains meet the heavens above,
Out where the lightning splits the sea,
I would swear that there's someone somewhere, watching me,
Through the wind and the chill and the rain,
And the storm and the flood,
I can feel his approach like the fire in my blood.

I need a hero, I'm holding out for a hero 'til the end of the night,
He's gotta be strong, and he's gotta be fast,
And he's gotta be fresh from the fight,
I need a hero, I'm holding out for a hero 'til the morning light,
He's gotta be sure, and it's gotta be soon,
And he's gotta be larger than life.

I need a hero, I'm holding out for a hero 'til the end of the night,
He's gotta be strong, and he's gotta be fast,
And he's gotta be fresh from the fight,
I need a hero, I'm holding out for a hero 'til the morning light,
He's gotta be sure, and it's gotta be soon,
And he's gotta be larger than life. (larger than life)
