Immaginary Heroes Songtext
von Melanie

Jimmy was ten when they found him in bed
Unexplained bruises and words unsaid
The clock on the wall was still counting the time
But that′s all it did when Jimmy was nine

Mother was busy with a bottle of gin
Father couldn't take it and took it out on him
The clock on the wall was still counting the time
But that′s all it did when Jimmy was nine


Imaginary heroes, they played upon his bed
He said, "Superman will save me when he gets some rest
He'll take me to a paradise I dream of far away"
But then Superman went off the air
And the dream slipped away

Imaginary heroes, they played upon his bed
He said, "Superman will save me when he gets some rest
He'll take me to a paradise I dream of far away"
But then Superman went off the air
And the dream slipped away

Jimmy was ten when they found him in bed
Unexplained bruises and words unsaid
The clock on the wall played right through the end
And that′s all it did when Jimmy was ten


Imaginary heroes, they played upon his bed
He said, "Superman will save me when he gets some rest
He′ll take me to a paradise I dream of far away"
But then Superman went off the air
