They built a hero out of expectations and what a hopeless hero was he with sticks for legs he shook when the wind blew, even slightly and he welcomed the smiles, he welcomed the applause and he hoped that they'd never forget just who they thought he was they dressed him up in rich man's clothes and told him he was beautiful 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 and reckless luxury and the world soaked up every drop of drama and insecurity they dressed him up in rich man's clothes and told him he was beautiful then they expected miracles and then one day his admirers just quit him they packed up their paint and were gone and he stood alone, their beautiful disaster, wondering were he'd gone wrong and he wanted the smiles and he wanted the applause but no one would look him in the eye now, no one returned his calls they dressed him up in rich man's clothes and told him he was beautiful then they expected miracles
