Soap Star Joe - Liz Phair

He’s just a hero in a long line of heroes

Looking for something attractive to save

They say he rode in on the back of a pick-up

And he won’t leave town till you remember his name

He’s just a hero in a long line of heroes

Looking for some lonely billboard to grace

They say he sprung from the skull of Athena

Think about your own head and the headache he gave

He’s just a hero in a long line of heroes

Looking for action at a price he can pay

They say he’s famous, but no one can prove it

Make him an offer just to see what he’ll say

Check out the dashboard lights

Glowing all green and white

He feels safe in the dark

He wears his bluejeans tight

He’s just a hero in a long line of heroes

Looking for something attractive to save

They say he rode in on the back of a pick-up

And he won’t leave town till you remember his name

Check out the thinning hair

Check out the aftershave

Check out America

You’re looking at it, babe
