(HERO WORSHIP:) DAMSELS IN DISTRESS May 8/84 Karl Rigelhof

Everyone needs a hero
To pick them up from ground zero
And inject some fantasy into their lives

Everyone needs a dream
To make life a little less harder than it seems
And relieve the tension(s) in their lives

Everyone needs a star
To tell them who they really are
And show them how they should live

Everyone wants to be a star
To have a mansion and a European sports car
And to be praised for each performance they give

CHORUS:
Every man wants to be a knight in shining armor
To rescue a damsel in distress
And to sweep her from/off her feet
And hold her close so nothing can harm her
With her golden hair and (light) satin dress
Trailing in the breeze
As he/they ride upon his white stallion/steed
Into the sunset

Everyone needs to be rich
To throw away money when they feel the itch
And show everyone who is better

Everyone wants to be wealthy
To live life long while remaining healthy
And to hope that their life will be better

CHORUS:
Every woman needs a knight in shining armor
To rescue her from the castle's ivory tower
And to take her far away
And hold her close so nothing can harm her
She lives out her fantasies in a meadow of golden flowers
Life's fragrance on the breeze
As she lies beside her lover
Until the sunrise
