Well there's a cold and lonely thundercloud
Bearing down on the city tonight
And my baby's going underground
Where there's no sign of light
And there's a chill wind scratching at the walls
And it's crawling up under the door
But our castle was made for cannonballs
So my darling, you must cry no more
'Cos if you love me I will dance in the firing line
Cackle at the storm each and every time
Catch a bullet in my heart I won't even mind
Because I'm some kind of hero
When demons pound at your door I'll chase them down
Scream hellfire at the top of my lungs
I'll turn my gaze to the storm and I'll face it down
With the power of a million suns
I'll light a fire in the dark and stoke it up
Into flames that will dazzle for miles
And when the storm burns out and you've woken up
We'll set out for the ocean in style
'Cos if you love me I will dance in the firing line
Cackle at the storm each and every time
Catch a bullet in my heart I won't even mind
Because I'm some kind of hero
But what kind of man
Would gamble your heart on the words of a song
That slips into silence when it's gone wrong?
Well baby it beats doing nothing at all.
'Cos if you love me I will dance in the firing line
Cackle at the storm each and every time
Catch a bullet in my heart I won't even mind
Because I'm some kind of hero
