The Hero and the Heroine

from Blackout by Vanessa Peters

/

lyrics

cameras and guidebooks
no ice cream on mondays
stickin' to their schedules
the actors find their way
they've got shutterbug impulses
and voices that linger
scripts always in hand
following their lines with an index finger
we giggle 'cause we can
'cause we are the hero and the heroine

and this is a just a giant movie set
and the faces just keep changin'
we are the backdrop
we are the stuffing of this plot
we are the stuff that dreams are made of
and all the would be juliets and romeos
fall over themselves to make the cut
to be the star of this show
and we giggle 'cause we can
'cause we are the hero and the heroine

and the wind is cold when it hits your face
and it gets dark here by four o'clock
they have to keep all the lighting in place
'cause otherwise the extras get lost

and they stumble around
their maps turned upside down
but we know our way through
this sleepy little town
and you take me the through the alleys
and you take me by the hand
and we dart down a back street
as the cameras start to pan
and we're laughing 'cause we can
'cause we are the hero and the heroine
yeah we're laughing 'cause we can
'cause we are
the hero and the heroine
