Cardboard Man

Slow down, slow disco that's what you wanted Come down, life is short, as we know it And while we're waiting for the cosmic call We're still debating how we learned to crawl We sing as if we know the one and only song Here comes the man-made man To wave a man-made hand Here comes that cardboard hero And there's no empty space Where you won't find his face Here comes the cardboard hero And while we're waiting for a change of scene We put some money in the change machine Here comes somebody who will always stay the same Here comes the cardboard man To wave a cardboard hand Here comes that man-made hero And there's no empty space Where you won't find his face Here comes that cardboard hero Who needs a man-made hero? Who needs a man-made man? Don't want no cardboard heroes Don't want no cardboard man Slow down, slow disco that's what you wanted Slow down, roads on fire, no escape And zooming out we see the world is too But hey no worries – we know what to do Here comes somebody who could really catch a flame Here comes the cardboard man To wave a cardboard hand Here come the man-made hero Check out that suit he wears The fabric never tears Here comes that cardboard hero Who needs a man-made hero? Who needs a man-made man? Don't want no cardboard heroes Don't want no cardboard man Here come the man-made hero
