Miracles

They built a hero

Out of expections

And what a hopeless hero was he

Sticks for legs

Well he shook when the wind blew

Even slightly

And he welcomed the smiles

Welcomed the applause

And hoped they'd never forgot just

Who they thought he was

They dressed him up in rich mans clothes

And told him he was beautiful

Then they expected miracles

Then they expected miracles

His parents were pleased

They went to all the parties

He was groomed for greatness

From the time he was young

Raised on a diet of television

He was taught to listen kept dumb

And he welcomed desire

Reckless luxury

The world soaked up every drop of drama

And insecurity

They dressed him up in rich mans clothes

And told him he was beautiful

Then they expected miracles

Then they expected miracles

Miracles

Then one day his admires just quit him

They just packed up their pants and were gone

He stood alone

Their beautiful disatser

Wonderin' where he'd gone wrong

He wanted their smile

Wanted the applause

No one would look him in the eye now

No one returned his calls

They dressed him up in rich mans clothes

And told him he was beautiful

Then they expected miracles

Then they expected miracles
