I met you once backstage

at a very tender age

you took me under your wing

and I remember

those seas of screaming hands

were at your own command

so hypnotised when you sing



and there seemed to be a price to pay

getting bigger every day



and you were larger than life

you were graded up to 'hero'

larger than life

and it must be hard to keep living

the things that you say

when they're making you larger than life



I'm learning what it means

to be somebody's dream

when I'm looking for the dream myself

but that's not really me

they're twisting what they see

Its only one hero to Hell



and there seems to be a price to pay

getting higher every day



Larger than life

We're graded up to 'hero'

larger than life

and you know its hard to keep living

the things that we say

when they're making us larger

larger than life



and the higher you're above it all

the easier it is to fall



larger than life

larger than life
